[nfbmi-talk] discrimination against blind vets

[joe harcz Comcast]

While I like this program for vets I’m appalled that vets who are blind were so blatantly discriminated against here.

 

In fact in Michigan blind folks can indeed legally hunt and fish. Many, including yours truly on the latter do so.

Free hunting licenses planned for disabled vets By Associated Press Comments. Lansing - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says new, free hunting

and fishing licenses will be available for disabled veterans beginning in March. The agency says a law signed by Gov. Rick Snyder earlier this month allows

a disabled veteran to obtain any resident hunting or fishing license for which a lottery is not required, free of charge. The law in part defines a disabled

veteran as a resident who has been determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to be permanently and totally disabled as a result of military

service and entitled to veterans' benefits at the 100 percent rate, for a disability other than blindness. The law also defines a disabled veteran as one

rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as individually unemployable. Tweet Email Print Share LinkedIn Tumblr StumbleUpon Reddit Del.icio.us Digg
