To whom it may concern at the Virginia Department of Forestry:

I am a member of the NRA and hold lifetime hunting & fishing licenses in both VA & WV.  While I do not currently possess a concealed carry permit. I am FOR this proposed amendment which would allow concealed carry permit holders 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 and to support the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Virginians.

Thank you very much,
