Wow, dave7378, what an incredibly generous thing to do. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

I'm glad that's behind you now. Whew! "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

It was an honor to converse with you in the thread during this debacle, and to see the positive outcome! | Eye on the Silver Lining |
Oh my gosh- wow- this is so completely unexpected! Thank you! I agree, the real prize is you home safe and sound. So glad you’re back with family. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

What a generous gesture of gratitude. I was just relieved to open the thread and see that you had not been re-arrested  You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

No but interesting bit of news. There was another American that was arrested about a month after me. He spent half the time in the system and paid half the fine. Had the same judge as me. I called my attorney to inquire and he said that my case is the new precedent for tourists with firearms and ammo on TCI. At least something good came out of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Totally agree and was frankly floored by your lavish gesture. Then again I've never been a "prisoner" where one of the very few outlets for some escapism was a great forum and members.

Dave, when we were offering prayers for you, we had you added to our church prayer list. We attend a SMALL semi-rural dual nationality church. We did not mention the nature of your predicament, just that prayers for your well being and safekeeping were needed. Those prayers have been answered. This karma, a total surprise is being donated to our church to make some much needed purchases. The pastor will provide me with a list of some of the things we need and I will make the purchase. Thank you for your kindness. Again, God bless and welcome home. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Got nervous when I saw this back to the top. Sucks you had to be the trail blazer, nice to know someone else was able to benefit because you had the resources to fight back, they may not have. J3E what a blessing on top of a blessing. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Dave 7378 it so good to have you back home in the "good old USA".... following your adventure and others adventures with simular stories is one reason I will not be crossing any border leading out side of the USA for ANY reason... Even If I was to win a all expense paid trip to anywhere outside of the United States would refuse to take it.. Once you cross the border into another country and become subject to their laws no matter how trivial they may seem and they will use the fact that as a American Citizen and use that person as a pawn for a multitude of reasons. Cannot help it but with the "in todays times" I will stay in my home country....... drill sgt. | |||

Dave, you are a true gentleman. Giving a karma on top of what you’ve been through is the very definition of your true character. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Done, didn't realize my email wasn't in the profile... Thanks | |||

Classy, man. Classy. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I have marveled at your composure, and professionalism during this whole ordeal. I do not know if I would have had the fortitude to see it through. It does my heart good to be a small part of this story and once again, I am privileged and honored to be a member here. This forum is special. And Dave you are one standup dude. Thanks for letting us be a part. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

Been mostly offline the last few months and just started reading through this yesterday. Dave, so dumb to have to go through something like this- truly sorry. But so glad you are back! What a nightmare- the stuff of movies. ***************** Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin | |||
