I support and urge the approval of  the proposed amendment to the Administrative Code that legalizes concealed weapon carry by lawfully permitted people on lands administered by the Virginia Department of Forestry (Virginia State Forests), just like you can on other Federal and State administered lands.

Virginia and other States allow concealed carry in State Parks and crime and/or shooting incidents has not increased and visitors are not threatened or scared. 

Concealed Weapon Permit holders subject themselves to investigations and hold themselves to a higher standard of the law--they are not the problem, criminals are the problem.

State Forests have drugs, drug dealers, criminals on the lamb, domestic violence, and robberies--all the same crimes you find outside of State Forests.  

Law-abiding citizens have the Constitutional right to self defense and prohibiting concealed carry only in these limited areas makes it a "Gotcha" regulation for law-abiding citizens that is unfair and unconstitutional.
