That makes about as much sense as having instructions in braille on a drive-through ATM... OK, so the ATM at least makes some sense. I'm all about supporting everyone who can get out and hunt. But we're not talking about someone in a wheelchair shooting from the road--we're talking about someone who can't even identify the target or sight the weapon. We don't give people with severe epilepsy a driver's license, where is the sense of giving a blind person a hunting license? I'm not sure whether to laugh, or be affraid of something like this--"Anybody know where I can get a copy of my S&W owner's manual in braille? I can't see to read the one it came with..."

OK, there are ways to make these things happen safely and successfully. But seriously--it's just a little bit obsurd.
