I SUPPORT the proposed amendment to 4VAC10-30-170


Please enact the proposed amendment to 4VAC10-30-170, which allows for the otherwise lawful carry of firearms and ammunition in state forests.  State Forests are often more remote and have the potential for greater threats than Stte Parks, that already have this right in place.  In addition I would ask that you support this same regulation in State Wildlife management areas so that in Parks, Forest, and WMA's have the same consistent regulations both in and out of any hunting seasons.   This amendment brings state forests into alignment with state parks, national parks, and national forests.
