[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1197223, member: 44954"] I mostly agree. Personally I think in order to carry a gun in public, you should have to pass a safety class and a shooting test. The required class here is 8 hours (I did two 4 hour classes after work on weekdays) and included a written and shooting test. The target for the test is huge, if you can't hit it then you have no business carrying a gun in public, whether you are blind or just can't shoot for crap. I'd even have no problem with putting some kind of auditory indicator by the target, if a blind person can hit it, more power to them. I do however have a problem that the class cost $100 and the permit to carry cost another $115. That was a lot of money for me at the time. IMO the cost to obtain the permit was more discriminatory against poor people than the shooting test was against blind people. [/QUOTE]
