Blind man who was approved for firearm license in disbelief as he explains how 'smooth' the process went

To me it sounds like a denial could possibly open up some ADA-type issues and a potential discrimination lawsuit, especially since there are demonstrable common uses of firearms by blind people (competition and hunting) that are completely outside the realm of self defense.

The big misconception many have is that a firearms license or permit is a license for self defense, it’s not, it doesn’t grant any special self defense rights or the ability to use a firearm, it simply allows possession of a firearm by specific methods and in specific places otherwise not allowed.
