I support the change but open carry is lacking
 

The Virginia Citizens Defense League supports the proposed regulation, BUT it should include lawful open carry. When the current governer, 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 pen carry to be legal in State Forests (we will be asking for the same changes to State Parks and DGIF lands in their appropriate venues).
