I support carry in state forest but believe it should be extended to include open carry as well.
 

The Virginia Citizens Defense League supports the proposed regulation,  
BUT it should also include lawful open carry.  When the current  
Governor, Bob McDonnell, was the Attorney General, he published an  
opinion that State Parks and other such state agencies did not have  
the power to ban openly carried handguns.  We agree and want open  
carry to be legal in State Forests (we will be asking for the same  
changes to State Parks and DGIF lands in their appopriate venues).
