Texas is different............


We are going to let blind people hunt!
 

 

A lawmaker in this firearm-friendly state wants to help more people get
the chance to shoot live animals - even if those people can't see.
 

 

A bill filed for the 2007 legislative session would permit legally
blind hunters to use laser sights, or lighted pointing instruments.
 

 

"This opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think
that's great," said Republican Rep. Edmund Kuempel, the bill's sponsor.
 

 

Visually impaired people are allowed to shoot now with the aid of a
sighted person, he said, a requirement that would continue if the
sights were legalized.
 

 

Only in Texas (for now) but I can see a movement sweeping the nation!
