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

The current ban on open carry of firearms in state forests is not in keeping with our constitutional right to bear arms. It is legal to open carry or concealed carry in most places within the state, including state and national parks and national forests, and state forests should be consistent in this regard.
