Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
Law enforcement can not and should not protect every citizen at all times and in all places, particularly in the remote areas of our State Parks. Virginia provides a permit process to allow law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed handgun for lawful self defense, and I respectfully urge the Virginia Department of Forestry to amend the Administrative Code to recognize these State permits in our State Parks.
Thank you for your consideration.
