Peskyfoxs Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Interesting article on the bbc and blind problem granted concealed carry permits in the states http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28587041 Maxing to think one guy hunts by the sound of the wing beats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim85 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Haha beat me to it, i just clicked back on PW to post this. Im sorry i dont care what anyone says, this is not safe. They could be shooting at anything. Its not about where the noise comes from but what is behind it / infront of you and between the target! Unless a blind person is with an experienced guide / hunter / tutor they will more than likely be firing well..... blindly in to random places, by saying this im not saying they can not shoot in a range or something but being given hand guns and let loose in the public is just asking for trouble. Thats my 2 pence on it anyway, sure someone may have a different opinion lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Perfectly sums up the flaws in the inherent right to bear arms, there is no way an unassisted blind person should be shooting a gun - ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOTTO Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 “A shot in the dark”, night shooting without night vision, unless you happen to be blind of course then you have a certain amount of enhanced perception. But who among us would shoot on noise alone and expect a noble outcome? Having said that it would certainly give the muggers a shock and maybe a little extra, I thought the frangible ammunition was a nice touch, no over penetration!

wildrover77 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The simple fact is the act of producing a gun in most instances is enough to stop anything untoward happening. I don't suppose any of those listed would consider drawing a gun and shooting in a crowded situation. But then neither would that be safe if you could see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 How blind is blind? I used to work with a guy who was registered as blind, he could see well enough to recognise people at 6-7 feet but couldn't make out jacks hit at 20 yards Ps I've not read the link so if it turns out the guy has no eyes then please ignore my comment Pps Dougy well done on the fox, are you gonna skin it? It'll make someone a very interesting fox tail scarf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
