Virginia: Addition to Earlier Alert Today, Governor McDonnell Issues Directive
to Allow Lawful Carry in State Parks!
Earlier today, the National Rifle Association sent out an incomplete alert about Governor Robert F. McDonnell's recent changes to Virginia's Administrative Code.
On January 14, Governor McDonnell issued a directive to the Department of Conservation and Recreation to cease enforcement of §4VAC5-30-200 which prohibits open carrying of firearms in State Parks and has immediate effect.
In September of 2008, as Attorney General, Bob McDonnell issued an opinion that the Department of Conservation and Recreation lacked specific legislative authorization to further regulate firearms.
In order for the regulatory change to conform to his previous opinion and current law, Governor McDonnell also directed that §4VAC5-30-200 is exempt from the normal Executive branch
VA-ALERT: State Forests will allow carry very soon!
I was told by one of the Governor's aides today that State Forests will soon allow both open and concealed carry. Open carry in State Parks is in the works, but is further behind in the process.
VCDL will advise as soon as we learn that State Forests are ready to allow carry.
Been a long road, hopefully we will be there soon!
