Blind hunting: a bad idea whose time has come.
Does Dick Cheney need one?.......

Why not! The Legally Blind Can VOTE...which is potentially much more harmful....bullets can only kill one or two...but Pols can wreak much more havoc!

It's called the "Dick Cheney" permit.
Bill would allow legally blind Texans to hunt
There's a Dick Cheney joke in here somewhere, but I guess I'm too blind to see it...

I remember the story of a blind man that worked all hours in his carpentry shop; the neighbors were very worried because he would work at night with no lights on. He finally relented, turned the lights on and the neighbors felt better.
Can't tell if he's trying to make a mockery of the hunting laws, he's trying to make a mockery of the laws relating to the disabled, or both.
If legally blind judges can rule, its only fair that blind hunters can hunt!
Well, I'm glad to see the State of Texas has solved all of its problems, and can now get on to important issue like allowing blind people to hunt!
I think the next thing should be getting them the right to drive.
What's more... the "sighted guy" can be Dick Cheney!
It might actually make the woods safer because two hunters would have to agree upon a target and confirm...rather than a reflexive decision to align the front sight and squeeze the trigger! I love hunting and at the same time I'm very careful to wear LOTS of blaze orange and dayglo yellow when I go mountainbiking or trailrunning during hunting season.

This is insane. It just helps gun-grabbers to paint gun rights advocates as dangerous nuts. I'm all in favor of blind people being free to carry guns for self-defense -- yes, they're more likely to miss and/or hit something they didn't mean to, but it's in the interests of protecting their own lives. But this sort of hunting would obviously be purely recreational, and having blind people doing it is only going to increase the already too high incidence of gun accidents associated with hunting. Might as well pass a law saying legally blind people are entitled to driver's licenses, just so long as they have a sighted person in the passenger seat when they're driving.
