Bernie Ecclestone Stopped with Shotgun in Portugal

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Even a Formula 1 billionaire can't casually bring a shotgun through airport customs without setting off alarm bells.

💡 Why it matters

The incident underscores Portugal's strict firearm entry rules and shows that prominent travelers are not exempt from border enforcement.

Bernie Ecclestone was briefly stopped by police at a Portuguese airport after arriving with a shotgun he planned to use in a clay pigeon shooting competition. Officials questioned the 94-year-old former F1 boss over the weapon before he was allowed to continue his trip.
