I would like to respectfully urge you to change the code to allow concealed carry in our state forests. As a tax paying resident of the commonwealth I would like to be afforded the rights given to me by our founding fathers who had the wisdom and forsight to include the second ammendment into our constitution only preceeded by our freedom of speach. As reciently affirmed by the Supreme Court these rights can not be denied. Please allow me to be able to protect myself, my family and those unable to protect themselves while I enjoy our park systems as they were intended. You will soon see the the people that chose to conceal carry are amoug the best of our citizens and have the utmost respect for our safety and respect for others.

Thank you for you time and consideration in this matter,

Richard Notestein
