Inside police headquarters in London, Ont., the Taurus PT-740 Slim rests inside an evidence box. Black and silver, the subcompact handgun is light and easy to shoot.

It fires a .40 calibre bullet and holds six shots in the magazine, plus one more in the chamber. Before being smuggled into Canada, the Brazilian-made semi-automatic pistol was sold in June 2014 to a man at a gun show at the former Gibraltar Trade Centre in Taylor, Mich., roughly 20 mins south of Detroit.

The buyer swore in writing on a federal application that the gun was for him and that he was a U.S. citizen, according to court records and law enforcement.

He lied on both counts. Jermaine M. Welsh, a Canadian citizen, purchased over 30 handguns from March to August 2014, a U.S. prosecutor said in a court file.

Delaware weighing package of gun reform measures

DOVER, Del. - Delaware state senate appears poised to approve a package of gun reform measures amid heavy opposition from national gun rights groups. The bills, proposed after the massacres in Buffalo and Texas, would ban assault weapons, raise the age to purchase a long gun or rifle from 18 to 21 and expand background checks.Senate President David Sokola told FOX 29's Jeff Cole that he believes the measures would make Delaware streets safer."There are a number of places that have banned magazine capacities the data shows those places typically are safer," Sokloa said. Other bills would make gun dealers liable i they negligently sold a weapon that was later used in a crime. Meanwhile, Mitch Denham, the president of Delaware Gun Rights, called the effort, "disingenuous. He added, "more kids die in school bus accidents than get shot in schools, but they’re not putting seat belts in school busses."The bills are expected to pass and Governor John Carney is likely to sign them.

Rough waters ahead for cruise industry as it grapples with staffing slump amid travel heating up

record travel season is expected this summer.Colleen McDaniel, Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic told FOX Business’ Ashley Webster that the supply chain issues have caused delays for many cruise lines that were set to unveil new ships to the public."We've seen a number of cruise ships being delayed for their debuts because of that," McDaniel said.But, as McDaniel noted, supply chain issues aren't the only ones plaguing the industry this summer: Ongoing staffing shortages have assisted in stunting the industry’s post-pandemic rebound, forcing the world’s most notable cruise companies to find new ways to accommodate passengers.DOMESTIC FLIGHT PRICES INCREASED 47% SINCE JANUARYIn a statement to FOX Business, Norwegian Cruise Lines told the network that "due to the tight labor market, we have not been able to fully staff pride of America. Therefore, in order to maintain the highest possible onboard guest experience, we are operating at a lower guest capacity."Flexibility has been key to navigating the travel industry and in order to ensure the best experience for their customers, cruise liners are being forced to limit the occupancy on their ships. But as staffing woes pose as a major concern across multiple businesses, the cruise industry has a unique case as most cruise ships employ people from overseas.During the onset of the pandemic, employees traveled back to their native countries as travel advisories took effect to curb the pandemic.Now as travel restrictions have eased, many of those employed by cruise lines in the U.S.

Border union claims government stats about ArriveCAN app ‘absolutely false’

Drop ArriveCan app travel rules, border city mayors urge Ottawa Webber also said the ArriveCAN app has contributed to decreased security at the border because officers are forced to help travellers with the app rather than focus on their law enforcement responsibilities.“What I can tell you is that the numbers that were provided to you by the CBSA – where it said that 99 per cent of air travellers and 94 per cent of land travellers have the app completed – is absolutely false,” Webber said.“As far as border officers are concerned, the last few months have shown that ArriveCAN neither facilitates cross-border travel, nor does it improve operational efficiency.

Man sues American Airlines after mistaken identity lands him in jail for 17 days

American Airlines aircraft (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images) A man mistakenly identified as the suspect who stole from a store in a Dallas airport spent 17 days in a New Mexico jail without knowing why — and his lawyer says it’s because American Airlines sent the wrong photo to police.According to a lawsuit filed against American Airlines, in May 2020, DFW Airport police were investigating a burglary and found video showing the suspect board a flight to Reno, Nevada. When investigators served a search warrant to American Airlines requesting "any and all" travel information for passengers on that particular flight, the airline reportedly sent information for only one man: Michael Lowe, a professional outdoorsman and career guide from Flagstaff, Arizona.Lowe was not the culprit, but the information the airline sent to police was enough for them to issue an arrest warrant on charges of felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal mischief, court documents state.More than a year later, Lowe was picked up on those warrants while attending a July 4th celebration with friends in Tucumcari, New Mexico.
