    problems literally only americans have. is it really too much to ask to store guns and ammunition safely?

      Guns of course not, ammo kinda yeah? It can kinda get everywhere when you go out shooting. If you don’t have strictly segregated bags for international travel vs a bag for going to the range or taking hunting then it’s pretty easy to find old loose ammo in your bag or stuck in your coat when you don’t expect it. I do have a range backpack that also gets used for other hobbies but never travels with me just in case but like, I get it. I’ve more than once had an empty cartridge fall out of a jacket multiple days after last shooting.

        In the army we weren’t even allowed to have missing spent brass, fucking live ammo is instant ucmj, but you keep on dumping your ammo into the beer cooler Cletus. Such a responsible and intelligent gun owner, so proud.

        Same here, I try not to mix travel bags with bags I carry ammo and weapons in. Rounds and shells have a tendency of getting everywhere. I could totally see how this could happen to anyone who has guns and shoots regularly.

      Whoa there, I do believe that’s heresy in the United States. Punishment is a range day with someone entirely too enthusiastic about esoteric gun details like barrel twist.
