American is still technically a free country. You do not o through immigration or customs to leave.

It is a crime that the D.R. is violating this man's right to bear arms as he see's fit.

might be a free country, but you still have to declare them as being in your luggage. I do not think that someone hiding guns is likely to declare at the other side. Given the technology present in New York airports...I would say he had a connection to get these through.

all luggage including artificiallegs go through x ray machines when leaving the USA ,,,myguess is that this man paid someone off

more extraordinary is that normally luggage from the usa is not searched in las Americas so someone must have tipped the Dominicans off

Simple than that. He declares the firearms in NY as he was supposed to do with the airlines. The airline employee, inspects that they are unloaded, and checks the luggage in. The airlines follows procedure and advises customs in DR.

Give generoso a prize.

thanks, Ricardolito. all checked baggage gets x-rayed in NYC, otherwise, guys can bring boms on board. as to anthonyc musing about the DR abridging the rights of Dominicans to bear arms; the DR is a sovereign nation, which is free to determine its own gun laws. if you want freedom to bear arms, go buy your own country.

The only thing I am guessing here is that,

this idiot probably thinks we in DR are still in loincloth.

Put that stupid idiot in jail.

Show him we value freedom of choice.

He got the choice to go to jail.

"It is a crime that the D.R. is violating this man's right to bear arms as he see's fit. "

Wrong Anthony,his "right" to bear arms ends the moment he leaves the US and the second amendment. US law is not global law.

Pepe32,
advises
" .... the second amendment. US law is not global law."

The NRA and other morons think it comes from God.

Roy,I believe in the second amendment of the U.S. ,my only point to Anthony is that it is only U.S. law.

But I do know many morons who believe in the Utopia of world peace and are willing to attack the tools that keep them safe and protect democratic nations. The U.S. is a democracy and has it's laws and that is to be respected as is the Dominican laws that differ from those of the U.S. . I don't expect Australia to disarm its armed forces even though like in WWII the Aussies would be counting on the U.S. and Europe helping them with those "evil" guns!

Only children and miss universe contestants are so naive...

they did great on this side.......

but please tell me where the hell is the fence they robbed that went around the airport in santo domingo?

man i loved that fence and i want to find it........ it has to be some where in the dr i would hope and prey for...
come on guys they found the guns buried in this suitcase they have to fine my fence......
choo choo
all aboard the "lets find the fence" express.

Without guns, Pepe, there would not have been a WW2.
For the record, armed American citizens did not defeat Hitler - The Soviet Union military (assisted by the allies) did. Perhaps you should be advocating communism too?

wwii the aussies would be counting on the u.s. and europe helping them with those "evil" guns!

the aussies and the mr churchill where calling the pres of the united states 15-20 times a dauy trying to get the united states to get involved in ww2...........
if not for the telephone who knows what would have happen?
winston once said...... we make a living by what we get, but make a life by what we give......

for the record, armed american citizens did not defeat hitler - the soviet union military (assisted by the allies) did. perhaps you should be advocating communism too?

really! yes the guys from russia where upset because the germans killed millions of the russians when they invaded russia.... {shame they did not kill all of them}.... the americans had nothing to do with wininng ww2???
s...t fighting japan, the gemans.... helping all these other countries and even had the time to help the chineses who where getting their ass kicked by the japs..... china even in thoses days had a large army but they where all rice farmers and where worthless in battle....
uncle sam taught them on how to be a real army and also gave the chinese arms and weapons of all sort..

Is like that part a movie

What to do when you get caught in the act???

Stop breaking the law a$$ h@#$le.

However small you find it, it's a foreign nation with it's own set of laws.

Take that thought to jail, and thank god it wasn't China.

" Without guns, Pepe, there would not have been a WW2.

without guns...I rest my case ,you are either naive, a fool or both as far as sympathising with the Soviets I will leave the nostalgia for Stalin to you and the rest of the red brigades in the forum.

If nobody had weapons then I would disarm ,but while there are countries with really bad intentions and on a smaller scale criminals that don't share your pacifist worldview then I will reserve the right to defend myself and my family.

BTW I like your term "Allies" which overwhelmingly meant "armed Americans" not Martians or other undefined disarmed nationalities. Anyhow without those weapons in the hands of the US citizens you would be speaking Japanese and Europe would all be speaking German.

Can somebody be dumber than the Cuban Gusano?
Like somebody else said, the second Amendment is not an universal law.

I would assume 90% of security in JFK is NRA affiliated.

nope.

"How did he get through customs on the New York end?"
Because NY morons don't catch perpetrators while concentrating on law-abiding citizens.
I previously packed checked-in bag with rear shock absorbers for my car. Got to the DR, no prob.
Two months later packed front shock absorbers. Went through hell having to find someone to hold them for me when I was told "you can not take this." PROHIBITED was the word. This was checked-in luggage, not carry-on, both times. Had to leave them in NY and almost missed the flight.
Same thing with luggage allowance (venting here) sometimes ONE pound over triggers "I want yo' money" attitude, sometimes don't. There is no consistent application of rules, which allows for scumbags to get away (or think they can get away) with things like bringing guns into the DR.
My opinion (regardless of moron issues) be vigilant and don't allow guns to be brought into already volatile, crime-ridden, environment in the DR.

I'm surprised he wasn't arrested in NYC. The handgun for sure without a permit which is next to impossible to get is a felony violation.

The airline/TSA requirements are straight forward to apply with air travel. But certain areas - NYC being the toughest causes most problems for travelors. In NYC airports when you decare/notify airline of weapon transport they normally call over a cop and if no NYC permit you are arrested. If you don't declare weapon carriage TSA should find it and contacts authorities and will not let bag fly straightened out. Now federal and city laws violated.

I have a concealed carry permit which is good for most states except NYC. If I have a connecting flight in NYC from a place my gun is legal to another place my gun is legal it is fine as long as I never touch the checked bag with the weapon while in NYC.

As far as the post about shocks if they are "gas" filled shocks they are considered compressed gas device which is prohibited.

Since the some uninformed person went off topic about just the Soviets defeating Nazi Germany, let me point out that in the first Russian government Seaport, Arkhangelsk, there are memorials to US aid coming in to support them with materiel in both the first and second world wars. Without US involvement, the rest of the countries opposing the Nazis would not have had the strength or the arms or the feet on the ground to defeat Hitler. This ignorant jealousy is just pathetic.

DaveB,
states
"Without US involvement, the rest of the countries opposing the Nazis would not have had the strength or the arms or the feet on the ground to defeat Hitler."

No one to my knowledge has said otherwise. The point he fails to see, is that is was not armed NRA red-necks that defeated Hitler, or even Uncle Sam on his own.

According to Roy Stone all the legal gun owners in the US are not rednecks like your obvious hatred of all things American would have you believe. The truth is that traditionally those "rednecks" you speak about also know as Southern whites comprised many of the men who kept your Australia and the rest of the democratic nations free.
Now the US did not do it on their own but the others would not have been able to do it without the US and many of those gun bearing rednecks you hate...

So, Pepe32, most southern whites are red-necks? Well that's news to me. If you said most red-necks (just like the KKK) are in the south I could believe that.

As for WW2, how many Dominicans (with necks of any color) were keeping "Australia and the rest of the democratic nations free."? That's right - the DR declared war on Germany and Japan, but didn't send a single soldier, sailor or airman!

nobody 'kept" Australia free. the ANZACS have been fighting since WW1. and, as RoyStone says, Trujillo declared war on Germany, and did not as much as throw a stone.

Go back and read your first completely ignorant post about the Soviet Union, Roy. Don't point your fingers it people that have a more complete grasp of history than you do.

Rednecks are nice people. their only problems are the lack of education, and that they got stuck on the civil war.

They simply couldn't get over loosing the war.

Please, DaveB, give us the benefit of your superior knowledge of history by explaining the error in my post.

Dready confirms
"nobody 'kept" Australia free. the ANZACS have been fighting since WW1."
Correct
In fact Australians fired the first shots in both WW1 and WW2, despite being on the other side of the world. The USA on the other hand sat on the fence until it was actually attacked. Australia has done more than our share in fighting for the west in Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. etc.
Australia needed assistance from USA when attacked by Japan, since most of our troops were in Europe and North Africa fighting against Hitler and the Axis forces, despite not being in immediate danger from them.

Roy ,you are a slippery snake...

You alude to people bearing guns as rednecks and minimise US contributions to the war effort and then become a contortionist by saying that it wasn't ONLY the US.

You make the infantile statement that had the Japanese not had weapons WWII wouldn't have happened and then you speak of the (well armed) Australian units fighting in Asia (with US support of course)

And if the Aussies were in Europe it was in defence of your Queen and your mother country not some altruistic adventure,but the bottom line is no matter how you squirm disarming in a dangerous world is idiocy as criminals and tyrants arm themselves to the hilt!

BTW are you aboriginal royboy?

No

RoyStone is not aboriginal, hi is a LEB.

Aussies were nothing more than slaves of the British empire, at the time.

Obeying their masters, went where ever they were sent, to do the dirty work for the Brits.

Forced labor, sounds familiar?

leb?

Pepe32,

LEBS, is a pejorative or derogatory term, used by Australians to refer to the Lebanese immigrants there.

Even though they have contribute greatly to the Australian economy, they are hated by the Aussies (white European ancestry), due to their ethnicity, culture and religion.

Lebanese immigrants in the Dominican Republic have prospered, and have contribute greatly to our economy as well.

However, they are considered good citizens in DR, for the most part.

Thanks for the laugh, rokete,
A xenophobic Dominican racist preaching to an Australian about racial tolerance?
Ha ha ha!

RoyStone

I am glad the two of us can laugh at the same paradox.

It promotes critical thinking.

JAJAJA
