I, a resident of the C0ommonwealth of Virginia, urge you to support passage of the proposed amendment to Virginia State Forest Regulation 4VAC10-30-170, which would allow concealed carry permit holders the ability to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense in Virginia's state forests.

Passage of the proposed amendment would continue the Commonwealth's commitment to the Second Amandment rights of law-abiding Virginians.

Thank you,

George R. Tiedeman
