The notice of intended regulatory action published in the Virginia Register of regulations on dec 14 2015 concerning the prohibition of carrying concealed hand guns in executive branch offices states that a pubic hearing will not be held at the proposed regulation stage.                                                                                                       

I request that a public hearing be held during the proposed regulation stage for the intended regulations prohibiting carrying concealed handguns in executive branch offices. Given the state wide impact I request that public hearings be scheduled through out the Commonwealth to allow all to comment.
