Um, I just put it in my checked baggage.
Why, was that illegal?
I had read many years previous that PR had a preexisting gun culture.
Actually, I read that when Major League Baseball did some exposition games there, the umpires had to flee under police guard because there was a risk the angry crowd might shoot them.
This was during the umpire strike, and the vignette was contained in a book by one of the strike-breaking umps.
The reason I will again go to PR but not any Caribbean country or Mexico is that PR, as part of America, has no customs. Last time I was there, in Vieques, I broke off small pieces of you exotic plants and mailed them back to myself with no trouble.
Hey, if it fits, it ships.
“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.
