They used a pistol with a laser sight. When the instructor could see the dot on steel he would tell the blind person to squeeze the trigger. Worked well.The other was a member of a national shooting team that went to Australia for a demonstration event against the Aussie disabled shooters blind shooting team. The sight using Americans wore blindfolds, all shooters having a device on their barrel that gave a tone for how far off up/down and a different tone for how far off left/right. They got their asses stomped by the blind folks, who were able to synch the two tones easily.Something like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apzctZml7Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I don't have time ATM to commit to this thread, but I just wanna say after skimming thru it not opening any links, blind is a very broad term, legally blind? Can't see shit blind? No sight in one eye blind? Edited November 16, 2015 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see poop blind? No sight in one eye blind?They cannot discriminate against any blind person so full blown never seen a thing, never will can get a permit. I understand the need to defend oneself in the home and have no doubt a blind person could be trained to do it but they would never be able to be sure of the target. Then again a sign stating they are armed and blind should be a good deterrent for ANYONE entering the home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugger43 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 did any one else see the amendments on her license, it was a class "D" bus license... how'd ya like that poop house rat crazy carrying your kids around?...I think the good news is it might mean any small vehicle under 26K lbs, EXCEPT a school bus. Lord, I hope that's it! The other option is anything she drives has to be under 26K lbs, unless it's a school bus, and then it can weigh more than that. Hoping that's wrong.Can anybody from MA clarify that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 In ma to drive any vehicle that can carry 14+ passengers and a driver you need a class c, yellow busses have air brakes I think and you will need an endorsement or class b license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's amusing to me that we have a bunch of armored trucks that happen to weigh 25999 lbs. Pretty convenient when the CDL cutoff is 26k. Odd the trucks weigh the exact same even though some are clearly larger than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 My buddy used to train bus drivers in Germany. He told me this when he was looking for work. I suggested he open his own driving school.Shaking his head rapidly and hunching his shoulders he said "No...no...no. I'm not teaching drivers anymore. No." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
