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?

The blind people are already hunting. Apparently the use of laser sights is considered "unsporting" and is banned in Texas, and someone is just trying to make it legal for blind people to use the laser sights to make it easier for them to hit their targets since they are blind.

Or more exactly, it could be that the laser will make it easier for the "blind person's helper" to be sure the blind person has the target, since the helper can't easily see through the scope. So maybe it will make it LESS dangerous. It will certainly make it easier.

It also might provide more "helpers" for the blind, as hunters sign up blind people in order to go out with laser sights ..........
