I'm wiriting to show my support for the Virginia State Forest Regulation 4VAC10-30-170, to allow concealed carry permit holders, such as myself, the ability to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense in Virginia's state forests. 

I respectfully urge the Virginia Department of Forestry to amend the Administrative Code to support the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Virginians such as myself.   This would no doubt serve as a deterence to people of ill intent at Virginia state forests.

Thank you.
