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

16. Tests and requirements vary by state of course

In my state you don’t have to take a CWL class if you were in the military and have a honorable discharge DD214. A blind person could have become legally blind after leaving the service or as a result of their service. So they would meet the proficiency requirement with no class.

You also don’t need the CWL class if you have been through a one day hunter education course that had a firearms component. I did one years ago and we just showed we could load and unload a .22 rifle, locate and operate the safety and fired about 3 shots each with it, accuracy didn’t matter.

Many states don’t require a permit or license at all now to open or conceal carry, as long as a blind person can otherwise legally own the firearm they are allowed to exercise that right.
