Quoted:
I have family (father in law) who will be visiting St. Croix from North Carolina. Is it legal for him to possess and carry his concealed weapon while on vacation (he is a legal CCW permit holder in NC) in the USVI? Couldn't find any information on the VIPD, or on the Atty General's website.
Tried Google search and the few things I found were from 2008 and iffy on the subject.
No, he can't. That's the short answer.
Also, there are forms he must fill out and get approved from US Customs if he wishes to take a pistol or a rifle, but not a shotgun, out of and back into the US. If he attempts to bring the weapon back with him and he has not done this then he can and will be charged with weapon smuggling, even if he can prove the weapon was purchased in the US.
Furthermore, he can be charged with unlawful posession of a weapon while in the USVI. It is the law that anyone bringing a weapon into the USVI must notify the police upon arrival, which will initiate a shit storm.
I strongly suggest avoiding legal entanglements at all costs, especially cross border legal entanglements.
Been there, done that, no Tshirt.
