I was talking to a buddy today who is legally blind. He asked me about a H.D. gun, I told him I use a 12ga for mine. Is there any special training he would need other then going to the range.

( I just started homeschooling my son in Aug 09, who is 15, in highschool, and legally blind. I feel that sometimes I'm not making him do enough writing. Most of his assign are computer based because they are easier to see. I also feel that I do alot of the reading for him in the assignments that are not computer based.

Just wondering. I also want to know if you think learning to read Braille might be a good idea. Ds is 34 months old and legally blind, though he can see. He has been able to match up large print letters when he puts them up to his nose to look at them. I'm sure he'll be able to read large print (with his nose touching the book). Do you think learning braille would be good too?

I would like to see about hiring a personal aid for my husband. Is there such a place for the legally blind or any benefits like this for him? I appreciate any help and advise. Debbie

we can point fingers and scream discrimination all day and all next week but the fact remains a BLIND person should not use a gun in an attempt to defend themself any more than they should be driving a car. It is, plain and simple, unsafe. Fair or not, it is not safe... Say in your posed situation an intruder is shot AT by this legally blind person... lets say they are wearing blue. SO... ...
