Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

Hope this new rule doesn’t bite them where it hurts - tourist money. Lots of other beautiful Caribbean islands out there without the long prison sentences.

I'm sure some will avoid them because of the rule. Some will also be more likely to travel there knowing they have a hard policy on guns and ammunition.

Stupid people doing stupid things. The statement from the NRA just proves they really don't care about responsibility.

Zero tolerance policies are rarely reasonable, let alone very reasonable. You don't severely punish people for an honest mistake that literally could have no negative consequences on anybody. Sounds like an island run by idiots.

More like idiots that don't take care of their ammunition and don't know how to check their own luggage.

I'm just glad you are perfect and never made an honest, innocent mistake in your life.

I've said since the start of the thread that I also think 12 years is excessive. I've also suggested options that should get the point across. What are yours? What's "reasonable", but harsh enough that folks will be extra careful?

If they can determine an intent that wasn't nefarious, just a fine for the first offense. I mean, common sense.
