4 VAC 10-30 Rights
 

We all have the right to carry or not to carry. The issue for those of us that make the choice to carry a concealed weapon is the endless amount of rules which have been in place by so many businesses, private and public parks, Governments, State, and Local, authorities, that if I wish to travel in this state I as a free person should be able to do that in a free society, I can not go to the peaks of otter to have lunch because I am on federal land and am not allowed to carry a weapon. If a person has been approved for the purpose of carrying a concealed weapon, the general public should not be concerned because they won’t know that there is a gun present. The whole idea is to keep it concealed. .Most people have no clue when someone is near them with a gun, and that is how it should be. My behavior does not change because I am carrying a weapon, but from the sound of these comments it apparently changes some peoples view if they see you with one in the open. I personally do not like open carry for that same reason. Think about the two people that were killed in the National Park while at a camp site a few years back.
