"I support the new regulation. I also request a hearing on the issue of allowing the open carry of handguns in State Forests. Not only would it bring the Commonwealth into compliance with the formal opinion (08-043) published in September 2008 by the Virginia Attorney General, but it removes the potential for citizens to erroneously, but innocently, confuse the two, and carry in a manner not in compliance with existing regulations.
