Copied this over from Steve Pavlidis on the Lat's & Att's board:

"Right off the bat I checked the Jamaica section of your list (as I just arrived here a few days ago), and found that the information is wrong, not your fault Gord, it seems that this came from the US State Dept.! You are permitted to bring guns into Jamaica and if the Customs officer feels that the locker you keep them in is secure, you will be allowed to keep them aboard. If he feels the locker is not secure, he will take your weapons, give you a receipt, and deposit said weapons with the local police until you leave. The only problem you have here is when you DON'T declare your firearms and they find them."
