Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

McDonnell finalizes CC and OC in State Forests, effective 7/7/11
- Thread starter paramedic70002
- Start date
Yep! Been in the works for a while and another delay was considered.
There's no excuse for it taking this long and I hope no one pats McDonnell on the back for tossing another used bone our way.
About the kindest thing I can say is..."About Time Judas"!

What about all of the other state agencies?
At the rate of one every 2 years, it'll take over a hundred years.

Yep our 2A rights are important to Gov. Bob. :uhoh:

Time to cross of yet another line item from the OC cards. I think I've seen 4 or 5 become irrelevant in the time that I've been handing them out.

What GS said TJ.
It's time for Bob to step up to the plate and knock all the state agencies out of the game.

Oh yes for sure. Just commenting that I like the trend. Only one or two were Bob's doing...

Good, lord! When the directory says "pick a letter" and offers every letter of the alphabet, you know there is too damm much bureaucracy. Good, grief.

Hope that the NRA is right. Have not seen any other news releases/cites and

shows it not to be finalized yet - no effective date either.

I hope so too Grape...because Philip just sent out an alert that said it was.
Hmmmm...Philip says the official word is it will be effective soon and that another gun rights group is saying it's effective now.
I'll go with Philip.

And the word, according to Phillip is: "... the effective date for open and concealed carry in State Forests is July 7th, 2011. I would not encourage you to assume that the new regulation is effective immediately."
I seem to recall a similar directive that affected OC/CC while on DGIF WMAs, but I can't find any reference. Does anyone else remember this?
How many public comment periods do they need? Once more into the breach!

According to ^^ it aint final till it's final, and that seems to depend on public comments. Mark your calendars for the day to start submitting comments.
stay safe.
Folks, we need to get the comments in to them as soon as they open the comment period.

This does not make it legal to carry in National Forrests like George Wahington National Forrest, right? We are still stuck with only being able to carry there during hunting season? Is this on the agenda to get fixed?

Correct.
I don't know but it should be. National Forests definitely make up the majority of national lands in VA, and probably make up the majority of all park/forest/WMA lands in VA.

I'm afraid that's a good deal in the future. I was talking to Philip about WMA's tonight and that's on the agenda....Federal land takes a little more leverage though.

It is ridiculous that we can carry in a National Park in Virginia at any time, but only during hunting season in a National Forrest in Virginia. We need a common standard for the whole state.

Pretty sure we're still dealing with DGIF though. :banghead:
I'm not sure we've even started dealing with DGIF TJ. They own the WMA's and because of the multistate hunting agreement which includes the National Forests, it's going to be a tough fight to change them.
After that, we can go after National Forests but that will be akin to changing the National Parks and I don't see a Credit Card bill to attach it to.
