Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
I support the proposed regulation, BUT it should also include lawful open carry in the venues controlled by the Virginia Department of Forestry.
When the current Governor, Bob McDonnell, was the Attorney General, he published an opinion that State Parks and other such state agencies did not have the power to ban openly carried handguns. I agree with the Governor's opinion and want open carry to be legal in State Forests. I also support making the same changes to State Parks and DGIF lands in their appopriate venues.
Thank you,
Howard S. Dobrin
