Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
Dear Sirs,
I support the proposed change to Virginia State Forest Regulation 4VAC10-30-170 that would allow CWP holders to enter state forests.
"No person shall bring into or have in any forest any explosive or explosive substance, except commercial sporting firearms ammunition; explosives, explosive substances and firearms of all types are prohibited in any portion of a forest assigned to the Department of Forestry, for administration as a recreational area. This regulation shall not apply to the carrying of concealed handguns within state forests by holders of a valid concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to § 18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia."
Thank you for your consideration,
Ronald W. Harp-Jr
