I haven't found the Town Hall filing yet but I just got this.
The Department of Forestry has submitted a second proposed regulation regarding firearms on State Forests. The past, current and future actions and associated documents can be found on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall website located at http://townhall.virginia.gov/
The agency has submitted a new proposed regulation amendment which would essentially allow the carrying of open and concealed firearms on State Forests so long as the laws of the Commonwealth did not prohibit them.
Because this proposal is significantly different from the original, we felt the prudent action was to submit a new proposed amendment for the public review, receive additional comments from the public, and then complete the final regulatory stage.
I hope this reply is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
