Carrying in PR

[Burdy]

Anyone experienced carrying in Puerto Rico? It appears there is reciprocity but it must be signed off individually by state. Also some possible 15 day notification laws prior to the visit. Everything is clear as mud. It is likely the only one who can help is someone who has already succeeded in doing so. If you have carried there, please advise.

Super interesting, would like to know as well. Looks like there is non now but you could apply for it as a US citizen.

A few years ago, I had a Puerto Rican co-worker who said that it was extremely difficult for him to do it legally when he went to visit family even as a Veteran.

File an application to carry as a non resident under the guise of a protection specialist. Forms are online. Depending on your time frame i may be able to help you get approved by throwing my company name on your application as a "sponsor".

I just sent an email to Chris Carr's attorney to see if I can get him to attempt to establish an MOU with PR.

Good luck, but to be honest it's probably not worth it.

US Territories are a law unto themselves and unless you live there and/or have serious clout, guns are almost impossible to carry or even posses.

Would this work for California?

I have a cali guard and cc card and i can only carry on duty from what I understand. Now, you could fill out a request form and contact the local sheriff office and give them a viable reason you need to carry (large sum of money, business purposes, etc.) but they probably wouldn't approve it. Never know though.

I have some experience on this subject, and I wouldn't even think about doing it

First, and most importantly when it all hits the fan, you are going to a territory where English is a second language, You are going to have to be able to explain what you are doing and why in Spanish. Trust me, it's really hard to explain fine points of law in another language.

I have been there and done that, but at the end of the day (or several days) the hassle is just not worth it.

And then, you don't want to even think about what's going to happen if you deploy your weapon.
