Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/16/2010 |
Dear VA Dept of Forestry,
Please amend Virginia State Forest Regulation 4VAC10-30-170 so that law abiding citizens such as myself are able to protect ourselves from criminals and wildlife (such as bears). I do not think that amending this regulation would lead to illegal hunting or abuse of the wildlife. My wife and I enjoy going on long hikes with our dog. We should, as should all law abiding Virginia citizens, be able to protect ourselves.
Thank you for your time. I would try to attend the public meeting but I am deployed with the Army in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Regards,
C. M. Buterbaugh
