[Blindtlk] blind hunters

Wed Dec 13 19:09:56 CST 2006

and if blind people use guns in a controlled situation where there are 
sighted people to help them I don't see anything wrong with it. I shot a gun 
before at a summer camp for the blind. I just shot at targets and it was fun 
seeing how many I could hit with the sighted-person of course telling me how 
many I hit and how many I missed.
