Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
My wife and I support the proposed regulation, BUT it should also include lawful open carry. 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. We agree and want open carry to be legal in State Forests (we will be asking for the same changes to State Parks and DGIF lands in their appopriate venues). it is legal in Virginia to open-carry, we feel it should also be legal in State Parks.
Thank you,
