Sirs,

  I would very much appreciate your support of the proposed legslation to allow Concealed Carry in our State Forrests. I feel that citizens carrying legally are an asset to our overextended Law Enforcement community and our first line of defense against crime in the Commonwealth. It is much easier to stop a crime with a weapon than with a cell phone. Your support of our Second Ammendment Rights and to making Virginia a safer home for law abiding citizens are to be commended.

Semper Fi,

Jim Beale
