Two gun rights organizations have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Virgin Islands, challenging the territory's restrictions on concealed carry permits for nonresidents. This marks the second legal challenge to the territory's gun laws, following a separate lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in December. The lawsuit argues that the territory's policies violate the Second Amendment rights of nonresident gun owners. The case adds to ongoing legal battles over gun rights in U.S. territories, where federal constitutional protections are often interpreted differently than in the 50 states. The outcome could have implications for gun carry laws in other U.S. territories and the broader interpretation of Second Amendment rights outside the mainland.
