It should be considered imperative that all law abiding citizens be permitted the God-given right of self protection whether in a Commonwealth of Virginia Forest or not. If CCW holders are permitted to carry there, then they need not leave their tools in a vehicle and have them be subject to theft. Further, these unarmed victims could otherwise be left without  recourse. We, husband and wife, are both CCW holders and hesitate to frequent these places currently because we feel naked. Remember, when seconds count the authorities are only minutes away!
