To the Virginia Department of Forestry ,
                                               I am a member of the N.R.A and a hunter.  I live in the state of Florida.  I also have a valid concealed handgun permit.  I love the outdoors and I would love to visit your state forest.  I strongly feel that allowing people like myself to carry concealed handguns would not be a problem.  We follow evey law to the letter as so we dont loose our right to own and carry concealed handguns.  I think your state forest would be a safer place to visit if every person had a valid concealed handgun permit.  I also feel that every person that goes though the steps to recieve a concealed handgun permit knows the laws and knows how important it is that we follow the laws and make good choices.  In Florida we are allowed to carry concealed handguns on management areas and no one really cares, its like second nature and we dont have any problems.  I hope you decide to allow concealed carry handguns in your state forest , you wont be sorry ,or have any regrets who knows the life it saves may be someone you know and love.
