I support open carry!
 

I support the Virginia Citizens Defense League ontheir position for 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).

 

So in the subject line, be sure to say something like, "I support the

 

rule change, but also want open carry to be legal"
