“Why, was that illegal?”
It was illegal if you:
Didn’t notify the airline of the checked gun.
Didn’t notify the Puerto Rico Police upon arrival.
If you didn’t have a Puerto Rico weapons license and didn’t turn it in to an Armory for custody while you processed your permit.
I notified the airline of my checked gun.
I did not do any of that other stuff.
I never brought it out of the case the entire time I was in PR. It was just insurance for when bad people kicked in my door.
So, does the government of PR really believe that people are children unable to attend to their own safety?
A “Weapons License”? Really?
Do all the criminals have weapons licenses too?
