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?

Did he pass the test?

Doesn't sound like it.

The point is we can create an infinite number of hypotheticals to show the need for legislation or regulations or any kind of state action.

In reality, I have not read of a single instance where a blind person used a gun irresponsibly and killed or injured someone.

I have read of a couple of instances where legally blind people have successfully defended themselves with firearms.

Why the hell not? He has just as much as right to shoot back as any of us!

I would venture a guess that most of us would know a shooter who is worse at putting lead on target than this fellow with palsy.

Its a GOD given right to own a gun for self defense. It doesnt matter how good or bad a shot you are or if you have eagle eye vision or blind as a bat.

“I’m a strong believe in the 2A as written. That means must-issue CCW nationwide, not can-issue.”

To truly follow the 2nd, why would one need a permit at all? That is just government granting you permission to exercise your God given right.
