I’m all for having your firearm legally but almost 7,000 confiscated in airports last year….. don’t people know they can’t travel with their guns…. That’s just being stupid.
Americans are careless and live a "fast" life, mistakes are bound to happen and statistics reflects it, having a dogmatic approach to punishment is not the solution, hopefully this man face a fair judgement and learn from his mistake
Well don't you know you actually CAN travel with your gun???
@@kalidilerious Not to the Turks you can't.
@@tishw4576 geeee.... anything else genius???
@@kalidilerious Nah. I'm good.
Imagine being wealthy enough to travel outside the country a lot, and arrogant enough to never research the laws where you are going.
It has nothing to do with that. He didn’t check his duffle bag and had ammo in it from a hunting trip. He threw his stuff in it for the trip and this happened.
now they have a GOFUNDME for this guy over $250K
Well you should never be in the position to break the law in another country
@@JasonK-hx3oxgood
Zero sympathy. Why do Americans think that their laws are the same all over the world? Most people DO research travel advisory. Heck, even for all-ins!
Using this to judge and generalize Americans is ridiculous. What we can definitely get from your comment is that you don't read or listen. There is no indication that these people did not research the travel advisory. They simply grabbed a bag to the airport and the bag had some bullets that they did not know was there and that clearly wasn't caught by TSA in the US or even any of the scanners when they were entering Turks and Caicos. Sounds like these people made a mistake. People are human, humans make mistakes. If they had a gun that would be a whole different story but this guy had a few bullets. You think he took them there to sit on the beach and throw them at people or what?
@@BanterBangershahaha, exactly…. It doesn’t matter what country someone’s from some people just don’t have humanity left. They want everything to be a rule. 🙄 exhausting
It’s illegal in America. He didn’t do that on purpose. He would have gone to jail in America had they caught it. Are yall insane? Do you think he would have risked not being able to fly in his own country first?
169K for an idiot. Responsible gun owners don't do this. If you are traveling, you make sure you comply with the rules and law.
If only he was a sports player then we would get him back, but nope. Just a dude from Oklahoma
It is so easy for people to sit in their chairs and blast people for honest mistakes. If only YOU were in his place because accidents DO happen if you are in a hurry. I guess you have NEVER made any mistakes.
@@cag9871 An honest mistake is leaving the clothes in the drier. If you are a gun owner, you have a responsibility to NOT be careless.
And you should always know where your ammo is.
@@SpaceRanger187BG was in custody for 10 months. So I guess we can revisit this idiot next February. Since that will show he got equal treatment to BG.
I dont feel bad for him he should be more careful with his ammos. Hes a full grown adult he should know better
You nailed it!
If you are that careless with ammo ..that is on you. Americans need to learn to follow other countries rules.
Since there was no firearm, seems like an honest mistake, Little Miss Perfect.
@@capngeo2002leave the death culture at home
@@FD-qd7zy who died?
@@capngeo2002 ammo is not permitted either.
@@leighannsoles8432 yes that was obvious. However, Miss Obvious, the fact that there was only ammo and no gun made it more obvious that it was an honest mistake. But I know you will enjoy seeing a person incarcerated for 12 years due to a mistake.
How was it not caught before they left the US
It was in a checked bag, it had to be, mainly because in the US, you can travel with ammunition as long as as it's inside your checked luggage. There's no way TSA would let ammo thru via a carryon bag
He said he has no idea his go fund me is at 200k. This sounds like a hoax.
does seem strange
Tax write off plus I'm sure they are part of a big church
Well I bet they wish it was a hoax considering he is facing 12 years in prison. Just shut up
@@BoyMomma89 Are you sure they didn't plan it ?
@@BoyMomma89 12 years he deserves. so how about you shut up. That 200k won't do a thing for them with his wife being the sole provider of their custom built home they can't afford
How about don't travel with ammo? Not every country is as gun-happy as the US. American's can't bring that entitlement and arrogance with them everywhere they go expecting every other country to bow down to US gun laws.
also not every country have pa protest saudi
rude...we don't travel with guns...did you even listen to this ? He said he didn't remember having that ammo in that bag..Many people who travel a lot keep a bag packed, if it's with clothing for a different climate. I do, and always have.
@@lynnhubbard844 So do you throw ammo in those bags?
He broke the law. Just that simple. You want your guns, now you pay the price for being irresponsible with your ammunition.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's practically the norm to be "irresponsible" in America, so now we're holding people's habitual mistakes against them because they travel out of country?
No the government of other countries will do that as you see
@@JohnnytNaturalyes. The "travel out of country" is kind of the kicker here.
@@JohnnytNatural yes.
If you listen to him, it's like he is saying "I don't know where those drugs came from. It ain't mine". Dude - respect the laws of the country.
I wonder how many children huddled in a corner of their classroom cried the same thing I just want to go home. Think on that for the next decade son
Why are we still talking about this? He messed up, he pays the price, thats that. Nothing scandalous is happening here.
They want to get more money from gofundme
@@hersheyssmith2104 hahaha 💯
Let's say you work at a restaurant and the employee rules are to make sure every customer has a good dining experience. One day, you accidentally trip with a glass of water in your hand, and the water spills and gets a customer wet. The customer is upset because she is wet because of you. Your boss fires you for giving the customer a bad dining experience. You say, "But it was an accident." Your boss responds, "One of our rules is to make sure every customer has a good experience; you broke that rule, so you're fired." How do you feel about that? Was the punishment just or unjust? Does the punishment need to be tailored to your intentions or is it correct to respond to accidents and evil intentions with the same punishment?
@YeahBuoy I understand for Americans small mistakes usually get wrist slaps but that's not how the rest of the world works. Go to Bali and "accidentally" pack a joint and get a life sentence or death. Was it an accident? Sure. Does it make a difference for the country and laws YOU chose to go to? Nope. Don't travel if you believe you're entitled to wrist slaps.
@@dawnbrookes426 You make a good point. But my goodness I hope that's not the actual punishment for accidentally bringing a joint to Bali :O Is that really what happens over there?
Importing ammunition into countries where it is illegal is an act with consequences. If you do the crimes, prepare to do the time.
Accidents happen good grief none of us is without flaws.
If people from other countries come into America, we expect them to abide by our laws and rules. We don't want to give foreigners a break because they're ignorant of our laws. 12 years is honestly overkill, but that alone doesn't make it okay for Americans to go there, break their laws, and expect special treatment just because they are Americans. If we expect law and order in America, we have to accept that other countries want the same. This guy is obviously rich, and that makes him think he's entitled. I'm not even sure that I believe he couldn't see a bag of ammo in his suitcase.
Where are you living? Certainly not in the USA, or are you blind to the open borders???????????????
@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036 So you're saying that you don't think illegals need to obey our laws? Personally, I may not have the right to force the illegals to obey our laws, but I I certainly believe they should have to.
@@AFloridaSon no, I am saying they are not following our laws and without consequences
100%
Hahaha the open borders and people that don’t have to pay taxes ? Those laws?? 😂
Ignorance of the law is not a defence
We are Americans. We don't read travel advisories (closely) or fine print.
Or at all
@@FD-qd7zy Touche'!
I do.
Entitled Americans.
😂🤣
He is too careless to own a gun, no excuse for being stupid.
Having ammo lying around doesn’t have anything to do with being a responsible gun owner. This is a terrible mistake.
@mrich9654 It's called TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. He/they CHOSE to be IRRESPONSIBLE. They effd around and found out. They played stupid games and are now winning their stupid prizes. "Terrible mistake" is BS. Prisons all around the world are stuffed to the gills with people who have made "terrible mistakes." And they all serve their time regardless. If you own weapons and ammo then you ARE RESPONSIBLE and need to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!! Actions have consequences!!! Failure to take action has consequences. He/they broke the law and committed a crime. Crime has consequences. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!! if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to take ammunition out of your bag, if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to even check your bag for ammunition or a weapon, and if you CHOOSE TO TRAVEL to a country where bringing in ammunition is ILLEGAL, and if you CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT of that country's laws, then you should EXPECT to suffer THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR ACTIONS and your FAILURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. It's so gross to come on TV with this weepy attitude that something unjust and unfair is happening and that everyone else in the world should pull strings to fix it for them. These people need to GROW THE HELL UP and learn what it means to TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!

I see they are American so it’s okay to break the law in other countries.
what? You have to be joking with that idiotic statement.
@@lynnhubbard844 it’s sarcasm to DA’s statement at the end of the clip.
Folks, he did not intend on taking this ammo! It was a man in a rush not checking a bag for contents before packing for a trip! My question is, where is our country’s assistance in this?
This is sad, but when you travel out of America, know the laws of the country you are traveling to. Americans will have no special immunity in any country. I pray 🙏 this ends with these people coming home.....don't count on Biden to save you....

Is this guy for real? Do a normal person travels with ammo?
Amazing that our TSA missed the 4 deer slugs but a foreign country spotted them with no trouble. Knowing this, how safe do you feel flying today. The TSA is a total failure and only inconveniences folks and slows down travel. It does little to make it safer!
They found the ammo on their way out of the country.
That is what I got outta this - great job TSA. Where is the interview with them?
I’m not sure if you’re correct or not. It could be that the TSA didn’t catch it because they were on the checked luggage. You are allowed to take ammunition on your checked luggage. Not only that, I’ve taken ammunition and an actual gun on my checked luggage.
But when they were leaving the island their customs agents might check all your luggage right there in front of you, where the TSA just basically runs it through to make sure there’s no bombs in it.
It's called TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. He/they CHOSE to be IRRESPONSIBLE. They effd around and found out. They played stupid games and are now winning their stupid prizes. "Not knowing" is BS. If you own weapons and ammunition then you ARE RESPONSIBLE and need to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!! Actions have consequences. He/they broke the law and committed a crime. Crime has consequences. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Nightmare hasn’t even started yet, ppl who put up the bond will want to collect with interest. They both admitted that they never do research to counties they visited and quips “who does that.”

Nope. You break the rules of that country and you will be held liable by their laws *cackling*
Anytime you Travel to Another Country, you need to Assume their Laws aren’t going to be so Lax or Non-Existent like they are in the U.S. Travelers Beware.
READ TRAVEL ADVISORIES BEFORE traveling out of the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would some stranger or someone they barely knew would give their properties as surety? You can’t fool me dude and your wife’s acting won’t fool smart people like me bwahahaha
very strange
Maybe he put the wide as a collateral 😅

Sad but true. Mistake was made. Gotta pay the price.
Better read and research any country you visit.
Alway abid the travel advisors. Thats just stupid not too.
Clean your bags before traveling!
This is NOT sad!!! This happened due to ARROGANCE and entitlement, he wants at like a victim and pretend to NOT to know that the ammo was in the bag. Yeah, right!!!
I travel... and every single time I travel, I check the US State Dept trave alert.
3:32 "We travel a lot. We travel out of the country a lot." 😂 So, with all that travel they haven't learned even one thing about other countries, their laws, sovereignty, culture, norms, values? What a waste of travelling.

So....how did he get out of the US?
We all make mistakes but it shouldn’t cost him 12 years of his life😠 12:50
Why not? If i break the law in the us would you say the same?
@@mirrrie Have you never heard of an unjust punishment for accidentally breaking a law? Punishments are designed for actions with intent. When an action is not motivated by evil intent, the punishment needs to be tailored to the accident. This guy traveled without a gun and had no intention to harm anyone, had no intention to bring hunting ammo with him, but accidentally traveled with hunting ammo from a previous trip. Also considering the circumstance where the ammo was found by chance as opposed to him consciously handling it, and he had no way to discharge it, the 12 years in prison is an extremely excessive and inappropriate for such an accident.
@@mirrrie Let's say you work at a restaurant and the employee rules are to make sure every customer has a good dining experience.

Does the punishment need to be tailored to your intentions or is it correct to respond to accidents and evil intentions with the same punishment?
@@YeahBuoy it's only for poor Americans who break other laws.
@@mirrrie the degree of punishment should match the “ crime”.
I travel a lot and. I have a concealed & carry but I don’t bring anything out of the country. I do feel bad for them as he went on a hunting trip before that and forgot he left a few bullets in a bag. However there was no gun. I do hope they go easy on him as it was a simple accident.

If I were this dude I’d find a fisherman to take me off the island and have someone meet me in a boat off the coast.

Play stupid game and win stupid prize you should have check country rules before entering and double check your baggage at home first
Rule no.1 we were taught growing up respect the laws of the country we are going to. Its common sense
😢 ~ I feel sad for them.
But I do wish I knew if he was the kind of guy that says ignorance of the law is no excuse“ and stuff about how people should be more responsible and “the law is what the law is“. Some people have no empathy until it happens to them. So I don’t know if this couple was like that or if they were in the middle or they were very empathetic for people all the time. I just wish I knew.d
I dont want to stereotype but most from Oklahoma are not usually the empathetic type.g
I will point out the comment section of all these videos is much harder on this couple than I thought. My reaction was one of deep sympathy for them. And then thinking that the lot was too strict. But so many people are criticizing them for being irresponsible. I actually don’t think is that irresponsible. I don’t think bullets are a big issue. And mistakes of all kinds happen in life. But like I said, I wish I knew what this couple was like when other people make mistakes and how they are politically. Maybe I shouldn’t use the word politically, but often times people have certain political persuasions are less empathetic and more “law and order“ (supposedly, depending on who it is that they want held accountable).
And I hate to talk about politics all the time, but $169,000 from go fund me, I would like to know if those are conservative people or more liberal people who are more empathetic. But I want to exclude people from his hometown and state, because all the tile people donate because they feel a connection with you because of geography. I want to know people outside of Okla., what are their political breakdowns. Obviously I will never know that, but I wish I did. It’d would be interesting.

You can tell he blames her.
How are American airports, not catching the ammo, before these people get on the plane? Do they allow carry-on baggage to have bullets?
Yikes what a mistake to make. How horrible.
I feel like people are missing the fact that he just didn’t realize he was accidentally transporting ammo. If you don’t think you have any with you, you’re not really concerned with the law.
I hope you made these post when Brittany Griner was held.
@@Sachi52 why would you assume I didn’t? Her punishment didn’t fit the crime either and I’m glad she’s back. Why does one person being held unjustly make you want that for someone else’s accident?
Moral of this: don’t shoot and hunt deer.
First of all he didn't know he had ammunition in his duffel bag. Get it? Understand? He was not intentionally carrying ammunition into Turks It was an accident. To get 12 years for an accident is outrageous. The government there needs to use a little common sense. Seriously some of you people are in need of a little compassion.
He broke the law.. if i break the law in the US no one would care if it was an accident or not. You certainly wouldn't
Before 2022 the island usually allow for tourists to just pay a fine if they got caught with guns or ammos at security. However since then the law has change. Now even tourists could get put in prison for 12 years if they get caught the same way so to make an example of due to the new law.
@@mirrrie People break the law all the time in the USA. It's illegal to cross our borders but most illegal aliens are released and allowed to remain in the USA. Liberal DA's are not prosecuting serious crimes in the US. Robbery, assault, etc. But I'm pretty sure someone in the US would have more common sense and mercy than to put someone in prison for 12 years for something that was unintentional and an accident.
Nope. The law is clear.
@@spacenerd9499 The Law is clear but 12 years for an accident is outrageous and ridiculous. I hope you receive the same mercy as you are showing to this man. You display not only a lack of compassion but a lack of simple common sense. We don't put people in jail for a simple mistake. That's insane and unjust. I hope people boycott these islands.
This is sad! There are kids without a father, parents & grandparents without a son or grandson. A wife without her husband. It was an accident and not even a weapon & no one was or even considered to get in harms way. Make him pay a hefty fine to the poor of TC and send him on his way. Tourism will be hurt if you jail him. I know I just got back from there a few months ago and won’t go back if he gets jail time for this bit of nothing accident.
If it is illegal in another country to travel there with it. Then you shouldn't take it with you. If you do, expect consequences if you get caught. I feel for them but they need to accept responsibility.
An interesting twist, you could be arrested in France for carrying a counterfeit designer handbag.
Why do people think they don’t make mistakes that are giving him a hard time
She said, “we travel a lot, we travel out of the country a lot. That’s not something we typically log on to look at to see…” in reference to reading about travel advisories. Look, I have sympathy for what they’re going through, however, to hear her admit that they travel internationally often, but don’t think to review travel advisories for the areas they’re traveling to - I travel internationally very infrequently and one of the first things I do before deciding where to go/booking is checking the current travel advisories. It’s terribly unfortunate, but they did break the law - one that was very clearly advised, so now they’re dealing with those consequences. I wish them the best.
Her attitude is so entitled!
This shows how other countries handle guns and ammunition and it is their responsibility to be aware of the laws BEFORE boarding a plan into a foreign country. 🤷🏼♀️
And shouldn't ammo always be kept in a safe way not just randomly rolling around?
Wondering why the ammunition wasn't found when he was leaving the US.
Other countries are not the U. S. OUR LAWS DO NOT APPLY IN THOSE COUNTRIES.
Stay in America for vacations it the most beautiful country you dont need to go anywhere else
I’m starting to feel that
You still need to know state laws while carrying
LMAOOOOOO YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
I know where all my bullets are , the American casual attitude of guns & ammunition is mind boggling .. all countries have gun laws that must be adhered too, instead of bullying your way around the world adding pressure to change laws be respectful .. try it see what happens .
Sucks, but, stupid will hurt hard
It's so gross to come on TV with this weepy attitude that something unjust and unfair is happening and that everyone else in the world should pull strings to fix it for them.

Neither of them will take responsibility for checking their OWN baggage that they themselves have packed when they KNOW that they have weapons and ammunition in their house and they use the very same bags to travel with weapons and ammunition to go hunting????? And the wife shirks responsibility for them FAILING to check travel advisories because according to her she doesn't think that “most people do.” Well if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to take ammunition out of your bag, if you CHOOSE TO FAIL to even check your bag for ammunition or a weapon, and if you CHOOSE TO TRAVEL to a country where bringing in ammunition is ILLEGAL, and if you CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT of that country's laws, then you should EXPECT to suffer THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR ACTIONS and your FAILURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS.
All signs point to DON'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY WHILE THE WORLD IS CRAZY!!
They don't want imported death culture but they're crazy. Sure.
Why do Americans got to other countries and expect the same treatment as the US? This is just like Britney Griner, break the law, you face the consequences.
As a Canadian I always read travel advisories, usually from 3 sources (different countries). I do this out of respect for my own safety and respect for the country I am visiting. I didn’t hear anything from their mouths that resembled respect. All I got from their story was a good laugh.
I don’t understand how there are so many comments about researching the rules and laws of another country. Are people kidding or did they not watch the segment? He wasn’t attempting to bring his bullets into another country to use them. 😏 I don’t wanna say people are dumb, but this guy made a human error. Like everyone has. It doesn’t matter what country someone’s from some people just don’t have humanity left. They want everything to be a rule. 🙄 exhausting
If he didnt have a million bags check by TSA he is a liar.
when you are not in anything goes America respect the laws of other countries...oh well
So much judgement in these comments. Its disgusting really. People have little empathy, sympathy and compassion for each other anymore. All anyone has to do to see how dispicable people have become is watch a few videos on RUclips. Then definitely go into the comments. You can feel the hatred and jealousy.
I heard its horrible there, there is no decaf and breakfast its from 6-8am but he wakes up at 10am, after his morning run the day is almost gone, the days that he gets to see the barista he doesn’t know how to do a proper latte art
loose ammo ? loose ammo in luggage? lack of common sense.

🤣🤣🤣
This is so sad.

How is it sad? They haven’t chopped off his ears or anything, he’s not behind bars (is under house arrest on the island)… it all sounds rather cushy to me - at least for now.
I understand he broke the law but 12 years does seem excessive. Tough situation to go through.
Learn to pack your shit properly.
Irresponsible gun owner.. seems like 4 got caught with bullets. Maybe a ammo smuggling ring going on?
He broke the law and know he deals with the consequences. So Americans cannot be hold accountable for breaking the law in other countries?
I respect laws but Turks and Caicos laws seem a bit out of touch with life... When you go there you don't even see police presence nor do you say anyone patrolling the areas. I saw a Police Headquarters that looked abandoned. not a soul in sight.. It's just crazy.
That’s your darn fault for “not thinking much of it” when your traveling abroad and you know you have firearms at home and pack them in bags you also use for travel that you didn’t bother to check. I double check the bag in using even if I’m only flying somewhere 1 hr away for an over night trip.. 🙄😒🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I'm more concerned with tsa missing these things than a few white guys who had deer hunting ammo in their bags that they didn't check before leaving. extreme laws always catch the innocent bystanders as criminals are too smart to bring ammo to airports.
Deer are laughing
Why did he have LOOSE AMMO on vacation#@$%????
Wow. What a bunch of A-holes in the comments. It was a mistake, a very small one. Hopefully he has good legal counsel there.
His only hope is to flee to Puerto Rico and then fly to the USA from there.
I feel confident I could leave thst Island without getting permission from anyone....
I always investigate countries i travel to. You cant just go and American wherever you are.
Cry me a river!
Pffft… should have checked your bag! That was on you!
Americans are not sending their best
Waaah is mom back whining that she's a "single mom"??? Having to watch over her "hunting property" all by herself? I'm sorry but this case is laughable. Personal responsibility!!!!
He didn’t know that the ammunition was in his suitcase if he did he probably would have taken it out that law is a new law did he know that was a new law probably not it was a mistake an honest mistake is there no understanding by the police there that a person can make a mistake not knowing what was in their suitcase he didn’t mean to bring the ammunition to their country hopefully there is someone who can help him get back to his family proving that he didn’t know about the new law and it was just a horrible horrible mistake ‼️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
who knows he is a spy on the mission and he bussed up in the airport.
Your story is good for new Netflix series not for Turk police 🤣🤣
"You're not in Kansas anymore"
Irresponsible. I use bags for all sorts of work that have tools you cannot fly with. When I pack for vacation I always make sure none of that stuff is in there. It's seems like common sense to do that.
Sorry but its not hard to check regulations before traveling and its not hard to check your bag to travel. Give me a break. What the hell do you think they should do? Say its okay to carry ammo? Craziness. God wants His people to follow laws. Are these people for real? Is this the mindset of 40 year olds today? Lord help us. Disgusting news story. Straighten up and do your due diligence and be responsible.
