The Notice of Intended Regulatory Action published in the Virginia Register of
Regulations on December 14, 2015, concerning the prohibition of carrying
concealed handguns in Executive Branch offices states that a Public Hearing will
NOT be held at the proposed regulation stage.

I request that a Public Hearing be held during the proposed regulation stage for
the intended regulations prohibiting carrying concealed handguns in Executive
Branch offices.  Given the state-wide impact, I request that public hearings be
scheduled throughout the Commonwealth to allow all to comment without excessive
travel cost.
