Gun rights groups sue US Virgin Islands over concealed carry for nonresidents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Two gun rights organizations, Gun Owners of America and the Gun Owners Foundation, have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Virgin Islands. They are challenging the territory's laws that prevent nonresidents from obtaining licenses to carry concealed handguns. The groups argue that these restrictions violate the Second Amendment rights of U.S. citizens traveling to the territory. This is the second such lawsuit against the U.S. Virgin Islands concerning gun rights, following a similar action by the U.S. Department of Justice. AI
