[blindLaw] Firearms and the Blind?

[Seif-Eldeen Saqallah]

Regarding convincing a fraction of the populus that blind firearms
users are safe and compotent, I think Carry McWilliams has done some
good in that field.
My experience is that, once over the amazement/questioning threshhold,
those who are proficient with guns can accept (not all) that blind
people can be compotent; the difficulty lies with convincing those who
do not have experience.
Still, there is some validity here, as blind people can own a car but
presumably not drive it on public roads.

Firing improperly into a crowd is not a blind concern; it applies
equally to sighted carriers as well. The question then becomes one of
safety and competency (wielding reasonibley), which one can argue is
met by successfull course-passage/certification.
I disagree with the idea that licensure may mean the requirement of
discharging only in the presence of a sighted person. (Indeed, there
are stories of sighted people adiquatly firing where they could not
see/rely on their sight.)

I appreciate this informative and respectfull discussion; thank you, all.
Sincerely,
Seif
