Turks and Caicos is making changes to its firearms law after a recent incident involving several Americans who unknowingly carried ammunition into the British Overseas Territory. The House of Assembly member, Edwin Astwood, announced the revision on Friday.
Following a visit from a bipartisan US congressional delegation, the territory decided to drop charges against five Americans who had inadvertently brought ammunition into the region. It is illegal to bring firearms or ammunition into Turks and Caicos without prior permission from the police.
