Guess you won’t be going to Turks, huh? Oh and if you do don’t take bullets… just some sunscreen.12 years, for bullets..... 🍌 republic
I don’t feel sorry and maybe the state department should ask for a lighter sentence but if you are a dumb ass then you can serve your sentence. This is a self-inflicted problem.I have very little sympathy for this dude but our State Department should intervene on these dummies behalf. Then bring them home and mandate that they attend a program for stupid people in the hope that their IQ will rise to a functional level.
I know I’d feel doomed if I had a medical emergency and saw this “paramedic” pull up.
Seizure THEN Firing Squad but only if they used illegal bullets and smoked the weed first.Imagine if it was a nugget of weed.

Exactly. Whazzup TSA?5 Americans held in Turks and Caicos for having ammunition as U.S. lawmakers fail to secure their release
The Americans are all detained on charges of possessing ammunition. The charge carries a mandatory 12-year sentence.www.nbcnews.com
I find it odd there are currently 5 people with similar situations. How did they get on their flights there? Isn’t it illegal to pass through TSA with ammunition?
What to know about Turks and Caicos' strict gun laws after US tourists charged with possessing ammunition
The plight of multiple Americans charged with bringing ammunition to Turks and Caicos has drawn attention to the islands' strict gun laws. Several American tourists who recently traveled to the popular tropical destination have been charged after inadvertently bringing ammunition, according to...www.yahoo.com

He made a mistake and there should be some form of penalty.Law and Order

12 years for bullets is dumb.

I would guess so.Is it common for paramedics to have ammunition in their emergency bags?
Alarming that our own TSA is missing this during outbound screening.
Regardless, 12 years is absurd.
For what purpose? Most jurisdictions prohibit paramedics from carrying firearms so why would they need ammunition?I would guess so.
I would want to know his local rules ,but, you are talking about someone who is trained to be prepared. Assuming he is legal, in his jurisdiction, that seems like a good preparedness.For what purpose? Most jurisdictions prohibit paramedics from carrying firearms so why would they need ammunition?
That was my first thought. To get to the islands they got this ammo through US security.Exactly. Whazzup TSA?
The weed thing is weird.Twelve years is a ton but dude, don't be stupid.
Each year when we travel overseas for rugby some of the guys sneak THC pens with them. None have ever been caught but it just seems like a dumb risk.

Or play women's basketball if you want the State Department to help.12 years is ridiculous but many foreign nations have ridiculous laws.
I’d like to see the State Department help, but at some point - my man - check your damn luggage.
Seems like a stretch but agree that I would like to know what is allowed in his jurisdiction.I would want to know his local rules ,but, you are talking about someone who is trained to be prepared. Assuming he is legal, in his jurisdiction, that seems like a good preparedness.
Also, example, that paramedic that got killed in MN with the cops may not have been able to carry but him being able to throw the cop a mag might have saved someone's life. Glock mags are block mags if you will.
Now, there are a multitude of list when you board that say "don't carry this shit" he should have known and deserves some form of penalty.
Agreed, and the woman from Florida who was arrested over Mothers Day commented on that fact:
Grier said she works as a store manager and has a gun for protection that she has kept in that bag in the past. She said TSA in Orlando searched her carry-on before she left and confiscated her lotion and body spray but did not catch the ammunition.
“They dropped the ball they failed me because if they would have been it would have never went this far. It would have never went this far,” said Grier.
We reached out to TSA about the missed ammunition. A TSA Spokesperson tells us:
"TSA takes its security mission very seriously. Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on bags and passengers are responsible for the contents of their luggage. TSA acknowledged that four rounds of ammunition were missed at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. TSA is aware of the situation and is gathering information to look into the matter further; however, there is not enough information available to us about the screening date, time and location at Orlando International Airport to make a determination.
Take the lotion, leave the bullets
They are indeed, mkay!Not that I would know because drugs are bad....
If the container itself isn't over thr 2.5 Oz or whatever, they just don't seem to care.
Or play women's basketball if you want the State Department to help.
Again.... not that I would know..................They are indeed, mkay!
True, I didn't think about the 2.5 oz thing. If I take something that 3 oz or below it's fine but the second a liquid is 3.1 oz or above it's immediately taken and tossed.
Or yelled "I am woman hear me roar, RAINDROPS!!!" While airballing a imaginary basketball.He should have just yelled “second amendment” at his trial and waited for the Supreme Court to save him. Works here.
Is she a Republican? Maybe we need different lines for D/R ?It’s everyone else’s fault. When did republicans decide to no longer demand personal responsibility from commoners?
