CCW in the State Regulated Forests
 

Hello Committee

I will spare you the redirect that’s often associated with 2nd amendment rights. Clearly DC has proven there is a Much Greater propensity for violent crimes when Laws deny the citizens right to protect themselves. All CCW citizens are law abiding citizens, tax payers, husbands and wife’s who are regulated and who have a particular respect for the constitutional process. To make public record that the permit carrying citizen would not have the right to carry a weapon in the forest would again allow the criminals (who Don't pay taxes, are Not Law abiding and in most cases have a criminal record ) to have the upper hand against the citizens of the Great State of Virginia.

If I was to visit a state park in Virginia I personally would find comfort in knowing that there would be CCW permit carrying individuals in the park, to neutralize any potential Criminal Acts. This is common sense and I'm sure the committee will do what’s right for the People of the Great Commonwealth of Virginia.

Respectfully

Parks Patron throughout this Beautiful State
