Carrying firearms while traversing state forests
 

Why should one not carry firearms, concealled or otherwise??

 

How many meth labs are on state land?? How many pot 'gardens'?? Do you think those 'farmers and chemists' are not armed??

I cannot think of any reason not to be armed while out and about-state forest or otherwise. Just a little over a year ago some thought it would be the end of the world for visitors to National Parks to be carrying firearms. How has that worked out.. Id say from lack of nightly news items relating violations it has worked out very well. So will it be on VA lands..

Thank you..
