Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
My wife and I, along with the entire Virginia Citizens Defense League support the proposed regulation, AND we vigorously request it 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 along with the rest of the state (we will be asking for the same changes to State Parks and DGIF lands in their appopriate venues).
