I favor the right for Conceal Carry in VA state forests.  Although animals in some parks are worrisom, it the human animal which most worries me.  While I believe that most of the time the majority of people are law-abiding and decent, there is a small percentage of people who do not live by normal decent standards.  It is, unfortunately, this small group that we need to be on guard against. As a female who likes to camp, I would be more comfortable if I had my conceal-carry with me on hikes and when camping.  I think this would be a good deterrant against unwanted intrusions into our private space.  I believe it will add more security so friends and family can enjoy each others company and not worry as much about unwanted visitors.
