Re: Please amend 4VAC10-30-170 to allow concealed carry
I respectfully request that those of us who have permits to carry concealed handguns be allow to do so within state forests. This will allow us law-abiding citizens to defend ourselves in accordance with the 2nd ammendment.
I understand that the proposed language is:
4VAC10-30-170. Explosives, fires, etc.
No person shall bring into or have in any forest any explosive or explosive substance, except commercial sporting firearms ammunition; explosives, explosive substances and firearms of all types are prohibited in any portion of a forest assigned to the Department of Forestry, for administration as a recreational area. This regulation shall not apply to the carrying of concealed handguns within state forests by holders of a valid concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to § 18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia.
