First question on this forum...

If a USA flagged yacht pulls into port in another country that is more restrictive in its firearms laws, the USA yacht is required to declare firearms and ammunition. I saw this in most countries in the WIKI section.

No problem, right?

Some nations require that the firearms be impounded and given back upon departure.

Have there been instances of firearms being "lost" by the authorities, or have authorities objected to certain firearms (.50cal, H&K UMP, suppressors, laser sights, frangible ammo) that are legal in the USA (for now), but are just too scary for some governments?

I have no problems declaring firearms, but I do want them back. A $4000 firearm is not something I want to get "lost."
