Two gun rights groups are suing the U.S. Virgin Islands over concealed carry for nonresidents

Gun Owners of America and Gun Owners Foundation are suing the U.S. Virgin Islands government and its police commissioner to allow nonresidents to obtain concealed carry licenses, citing the Second Amendment. A Florida resident, Sean Dale Henry, attempted to apply for a license without success, and the lawsuit claims the U.S. Virgin Islands’ refusal violates constitutional rights. The territory faces a separate ongoing lawsuit from the U.S. Justice Department over similar issues.
