Be careful.



So you believe they calculate $28,000 in fines will drag them out of poverty?

I don’t visit my sister-in-law because of her pettiness . If you have a problem with a country, just don’t visit it.

You went from a country enforcing their stated laws and charging relatively nominal fines, to a corrupt government?

Einstein -

If I don't own a gun, why on earth would I have ammo (even if planted) in my bag?

I would be pretty easy to clear non-gun nuts.

Be careful? Lol! How about don’t travel with ammo. The fact that this person was so careless with their ammo that it could be in a bag for however long they didn’t realize it is concerning. Obviously this is not a safe gun owner. He deserves what he got.

How stupid and irrespponsible of a gun owner do you have to be to "accidentally" leave ammo in your luggage?! Sounds like the poster child for dangerous gun owners.

That’s how you get toddlers shooting guns.

And yet tourists still show up...
Possibly they are fueling the drug problem

I mean, who accidently brings ammunition in their bag though? How is this even a thing.

What a moron. He deserved it.
