There is a story in the local paper over the past few weeks about a former pastor from here in Spartanburg, that is imprisoned in Russia. He is imprisoned in Russia for bringing hunting ammunition into the country from the US. He was on a mission trip to Russia. Now he has been locked up in Russia awaiting trial on these charges. Today in the paper it says he was convicted to 3 years for bringing the ammunition.
Now in this article, it says he was bringing the ammunition for a friend. Now i do not know this former preacher and have never met him. With this , i would like to say that his reasoning does not make sense. It really sounds like an answer a teenager would give when they are caught. I mean it sounds like the time my parents found alcohol in my car when i was in high school. Guess what my answer to my parents was, If you guessed i told them it belonged to a friend of mine, you would be right.
In closing, this has to be the craziest thing i have ever read. One i don't think the former pastor is being truthful. I also don't see how this would even seem to be alright. I would never even think about taking anything weapon related on a plane, much less one leaving the country. What begs explanation is this, with security the way it is in airports, why is not ok to take a fingernail file on a plane but it is ok to take ammunition?
Utterly ridiculous!
Viva Liberty!
