Concealed Carry in Virginia State Forests
 

I support the proposed amendment to allow legally licensed concealed carry permit holders in State Forests.  I think it is ridiculous that such permit holders are now prohibited from legal carry in our State Forests.  I can't construct any logic chain that identifies our State Forests as an area where the carrying of legal self protection weapons creates some risk (?) to non-carrying citizens.  I can however, conceive of many scenarios where the ability to protect oneself makes immenient sense in our State Forests.  Please support the amendment.  It makes much more sense than the current prohibition.
