constitution when it comes to the right to protect your self  . both open and Conceal carry of Firearms is very important to Me I am 73 years old 140 pounds I have been  trainined in firearms both as a civilian as well as in the military. I went to the National NRA championships at Camp Perry  OHIO and competed in both NRA as well as DCM/CMP matches I was  Va. state PISTOL team captain as team captain The Va state team won 3 National championships I strongly disagree with anyone that wants to take away any gun rights  That the founding father of the USA thought were important to every CITIZEN
