I know a guy that knows a guy that knows someone that smuggles tp, diapers, food, etc. Remember these items are 100% taxed and they are necessities. He meets the customs off shore and gives them their supply and then they look the other way when he lands.
Could you image going to jail for smuggling tp.

They do tend to sneak up on boats and quietly hop aboard...so a knife in a side holster is possibly all you will have time to grab...or a side-arm...a Colt Dick Special is handy...

Wow, all these years unarmed in the Bahama's, and I never realized I was in mortal danger, never got approached by 29 guys in a beater boat looking to hijack me.. Guess I have been very lucky...
BTW, the two beaten to death in Bimini were involved in a drug deal.. Good riddance to em...

Tip on guns in the Beehams...
Don't take and declare any "macho" type guns with the Beehams police. You have to leave them with the police while in the Beehams.
Any chrome plated revolvers, modded military style pistols with extended stocks, or Dirty Harry Magnum 45s etc. are likely to go missing when you want to collect your guns from the police when you leave. Standard issue "boring" firearms are best, and you will get them back.
