I support the change to allow persons to carry a "concealed-weapon" on state park property. The reasoning behind my support of this bill/law is that you read more and more about people who are assaulted on state park property. In the state of Virginia, by both "Wild-Animals" and "craized would-be attackers". This bill would allow those "law bidding persons" who love to hike/bike-ride in the open wilderness a chance to "defend-themselves" against-attack. Either by a "mountain-lion"/bear or other attacking-animal that could pose a danger to someones-life...Concealed weapon dosen't always have to be a gun. But would certainly cover "mace-propellants/anti-bear-attack propellants/sprays" that could save a family or a life. Thank you for your consideration of this change in legislation that would offer some comfort to those who love to travel to VA. state parks. On "Vacation/camping" and would probably increase travel to these areas and help the economy in these areas by "more-money" being spend, in and around these areas. Thus being a "positive-influence" to our states economy! Thank you for your time and consideration...
