Action | Amend Requirements for Carrying Handguns in State Forests |
Stage | NOIRA |
Comment Period | Ended on 7/8/2009 |
I support the new regulation, but I am asking for a hearing on allowing for the open carry of handguns State Forests. That would bring State Forests into compliance with a formal opinion (08-043) published in September 2008 by the Virginia Attorney General. Additionally, a strong visible deterance (open carry) is much better then a preventable incident atributed to a criminial element in our State forests.
