I support Concealed Carry in Virginia's state forest
 

To whom it may conern,

In light of recent events where the lives of innocent victims have been taken on public lands, I believe that the need for individuals to have the ability and tools needed to protect themselves and others is a RIGHT!  Therefore, I support  the RIGHT to carry concealed handguns in all public places.  Especially in remote places where you are pretty much on your own as far as your personal protection.  No disrespect to the authorities, but they cannot possibly be in all places at the same time, and predatory criminals will surely pick places and times when they believe their odds of commiting their dastardly crimes and getting by with it are best.  It is my belief that the Foresty Services and authorities should recognize this Individual Right to self defense.  I and others like me would very much appreciate the support of all concerned in these matters.

Respectfully yours,

Billy Denton
