I think this law was brought in by deer and ducks.
“Can you see me?”, “nope”, “cool! here's a rifle shoot and hope you blind motherfucker!”
Yes you can get a hunting license if you are blind [you can also be a fellon and get a hunting license, but thats another story].
The way it goes is that the blind is hunting WITH a sighted person. The firearm is set up on a tripod and the blind person points the firearm, while the sighted person sights the firearm and corrects the point of aim. When all is right the blind person pulls the trigger.
I understand the no discrimination of the handicapped aspect of it. I also understand that a hunter that has lost his sight would still love to be in field. I just dont like the extra risks that are involved with putting a loaded firearm in the hands of the sightless.
