VCDL had been aware that Senator Ken Cuccinelli put in a request
several months ago for a formal opinion from Attorney General Bob
McDonnell on whether it is legal to open carry in Virginia State Parks.
The answer came in this morning and it is YES!
VCDL expected that to be the case, but it was important for the
Attorney General to actually rule on the issue.
CAUTION: I am determining if this opinion has officially overridden
the park regulation or if the park regulation must be rewritten before
we can carry openly. SO, I SUGGEST NOT OPEN CARRYING IN STATE PARKS
UNTIL I GET MORE INFORMATION.
I have calls into Ken Cuccinelli's office, Virginia State Parks
headquarters, and the Attorney General's Office and will put out
alerts on this as necessary.
VCDL would like to thank Senator Cuccinelli, who is running for
Virginia Attorney General next year, for putting in that request for
an Attorney General's Opinion and to Attorney General Bob McDonnell,
who is running for Governor next year, for the well thought out opinion.
Here is a link to the opinion:
