Man Carrying Ammunition ArrestedKINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - Jamaican authorities arrested an American who tried to board an Atlanta-bound flight with rounds of ammunition in his hand luggage, police said Saturday. Donald Barnes, 34, of Atlanta, was not carrying a weapon, Jamaica's National Police said. A police statement said Barnes was arrested Friday in the coastal resort town of Montego Bay after police who searched his hand luggage at a security checkpoint found six rounds of handgun ammunition. Barnes was charged with a weapons violation and was being held at a police station, the statement said. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011230/wl/jamaica_american_arrested_1.html

    The anti-gun laws in Jamaica are quite severe. There is an interesting article that I found on Free Republic about this. link here

    You should all be aware you can also be arrested in Mexico if they find any ammunition in your car.

    SIX ROUNDS OF AMMO!!!! Well, this man was obviously a terrorist! Sheesh...And yes, you will get arrested if you try to take even one round of ammo into Mexico. And then you get to play "pay big bribes" with the poor, misunderstood, underpriviledged (and corrupt) officials of our southern neighbor. God help you if you don't have money.
