Oh my, good ole Texas is trying to pass a law that would allow BLIND people to hunt...with guns. I would suggest the next time you are in Texas, watch your back because the blind hunter will not be watching it.

The proposed law would guarantee blind persons the right to hunt the same prey that the sighted can hunt. The only catch is that a sighted guide would have to be with the blind hunter to help AIM, but the blind person would be the one pulling the trigger.

I'm not even a fan of sighted hunting let alone blind hunting! What are those Texans thinking?

hey ya PostMod,

Agreed! I've never understood why one would enjoy hunting down, cornering and putting a bullet in a defenseless animal?

Fun Facts

And yet when I put stupid laws like this down on my blog, people question them!

Why on earth a blind person would want to shoot at something he can't see is beyond me, regardless of how anyone feels about sighted hunting!

Apparently hunting is a big deal in Texas with the vast majority growing up with it & lovin' it. It seems that any politician in Texas who stands behind hunting, rises in popularity.

Yes, well George W. stood behind Dick Cheney hunting and look where it got him!

LOL, Melissa! I forgot about Cheney shooting someone in the face. Haven't we all confused a friend's face for a deer at some point, right Dick?

Flashes of memories

I can`t wait for them to hand out Driving Licenses to blind people - I reckon they would be a lot safer than some of the drivers we have on the roads now!

OK. Forget political correctness.

I say fine. Just give them blanks and tell them: 'You maimed it good, but it got away! Better luck next time, Colonel!'

If they insist on killing something, then say they did, drag them over to a bucket of warm chum [ground fish used for attracting sharks] and stick their hands in it. Say, 'There you are, Colonel! The hot stench of victory!'

Texas... WTF?!!

oh PostMod, that alternate cover said it all. Oh boy, an administration that can't even take care of the home front when disaster strikes, let alone being able to handle external crises (unecessary & unjustified external crises at that)

Blind driver's licences! lol, Ash. The blind can't be any worse than some of the sighted drivers I've come across.

Hey Lauren, you are so hilarious!
Why can't all hunters use blanks & just pretend they killed it? Isn't the thrill of the chase enough?
