[blparent] Guns (was A total stranger crosses the line)

Tue May 14 20:26:10 UTC 2013

I want to make it clear just for the record that I have no problem with a 
blind person owning a gun or being licensed to carry.  I was just surprised, 
especially the way the gun topic was brought up.

It depends on the state, but blindness doesn't factor in from what I know.

Some states have the attitude that you need to prove that you should have a
conceal carry permit, whereas others make you prove that you should *not*
have one. The distinction is huge.

interesting post. I didn't know that a totally blind person could get a gun
permit. does this vary state by state? just curious.

Being that I have the same rights as cited people. Remember the quality we
ask for? That means I carry any gun concealed as long as I'm not a
prohibited possessor. Also, I am totally blind. But very well-trained. I
have owned assault rifles, handguns, and rifles. As well as shotguns. I have
been trained by police officers and former military men. I have training in
firearm retention, meaning how well I could keep my gun from others. As well
as combat shooting meaning to close quarters shooting range and firing of my
firearm. I know you're shocked, and I expect most people too. But again we
all asked for it call me as blind people, and I take all that you call me I
could get. I'm also a business owner an idyllic cash and I do with sensitive
documents and monies from other people but I need to keep safe as well.
Again remember the inequality that we all 54?

Seriously?  Can you see at all?  Can a blind person get a concealed weapons
permit, as opposed to say a gun license for shooting at a range?  Would you
really shoot someone for trying to help you cross the street, even if you
didn't want to go?  I'm not picking on you, Gabe, please don't take it that
way.  I'd ask these questions of anyone who posted what you just did; I'm
stunned.

Or, you could always carry a gun. I do. It is a Keltec P32 with a seven
round clip. I always have one chambered so in total I carry 18 rounds on me.
I also carry a 10 round extra magazine in my back pocket.
