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

Please enact the proposed amendment to 4VAC10-30-170, which allows for the otherwise lawful carry of firearms and ammunition in state forests! This amendment brings state forests into alignment with state parks, national parks, and national forests.

Illegalization of an activity doesn't ensure that criminals won't behave in a legal manner. Instead, it makes criminals of otherwise law-abiding persons who are capable of responsible gun  use and ownership, and who wish to protect themselves against criminal elements.
