Interesting. I've always been against lights and lasers for hunting because it takes the sport (and challenge) out of it in most cases. However I think this should pass. I don't have a problem with a blind shooter using a laser and a partner spotter helping to aim.

It's also a crime that they can't drive cars and perform deep thoracic surgery.

Why does society hate blind people?

Sort of like watching TV while blind and the announcer says the password is Beautiful.

I'd be really surprised if this law passes. I have nothing against trying to help blind people, but if this law passes, who is going to be responsible when the first hunting accident occurs? The sighter, the blind person, or the legislators?

"Under existing law, the use of laser sights, spotlights and headlights is strictly prohibited in all Texas hunting."

=======================================================================

I believe this statement is the typical of the usual crap from professional journalists because

A---coon hunters hunt at night with lights, and---

B----I don't think that the spot-lighting regulations apply to exotics, but only cover native game animals.

This legislature is in session far too much if they have time for this mischief.

Good idea. After all, Beethoven was deaf when he wrote his masterpieces.

Why not use a Phaser? If you set it for "stun", you even spare the critter. Will make PETA happy (maybe).

A sufficiently powerful laser could kill and cook the game simultaneously. What a boon for the blind!

"Hunters using sights under the proposed legislation would have to carry proof that they are legally blind."

This right here is the best part of the whole bill............
