Please approve concealed carry in VA State Forests.  As a VA police officer, I can honestly say that in 6 years on 2 different departments, I have never had a problem with a person who was legally carrying a firearm. On the contrary, most I have dealt with have gone out of their way to be courteous, and cooperative.

The people carrying weapons we have to worry about are doing it illegally anyway. They will continue to carry wherever, and whenever they choose. I feel that more legally armed citizens would make those who intend to commit  crimes more likely to reconsider, making safer for everyone, whether you are armed or not. Thank you.
