I am not a VA resident, but I have visited VA twice in the past 5 years and plan to visit again in the near future.  Please approve CCW in your State Forests. When we visit we truely enjoy your western and southern areas.  As a non-resident I am unaware of areas that may pose a danger to my family and myself.  The option for me to carry a concealed firearm for protection of my family increses our sense of personal security and makes us more comfortable in VA.  We will visit areas where we feel safe and secure more often than areas where we question our security.
