As long as they dont shoot in hot pursuit on a crowded street :)

And circumcisions is where I draw the line! :)

But if someone was breaking down my front door, I am pretty sure that I could shoot from my living room or anywhere in the hall and hit the guy coming in with my eyes closed.

As it is, I know which room the cat or my wife is in when I hear noise. Not sure how, but I just do. And I’d know which room a thief was in when I heard him making noise.

10,000 walks around your own home makes you pretty savvy as to how to get to what room you want even with your eyes closed. Might be a little slower, but you’ll get where you want.

And shoot who you need to if it comes to that.

A blind person cannot see, but they often have superb hearing and know how to operate with little or no vision.

Daredevil, for example.

Many years ago I went to an NRA gun safety class. One part of the course was live fire at an indoor range.

Well, one class participant had palsy so bad that his gun was swinging wildly all over the place. The NRA instructor took the gun, then gently told him he could skip that part of the class.

I’m a strong believe in the 2A as written. That means must-issue CCW nationwide, not can-issue. I even think felons should regain their 2A rights after completing their parole/probation.

But what about that gentleman with palsy? Should he be issued a CCW permit?

Prohibiting the blind from their second amendment rights is probably just an excuse to require yearly eye tests for anyone else to be licensed to exercise their rights.

Maryland does (or did) have a Blind Hunting Day.

“Blind people have the same Second Amendment rights as other citizens. “

Then why don’t mentally ill people have unencumbered 2nd Amendment rights?

There is no difference.
