Let Blind Hunters Use Lasers

A lawmaker in this firearm-friendly state wants to help more people
get the chance to shoot live animals _ even if those people can't see.

A bill filed for the 2007 legislative session would permit legally
blind hunters to use laser sights, or lighted pointing instruments.

"This opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think
that's great," said Republican Rep. Edmund Kuempel, the bill's
sponsor.

When asked if the "additional people" represented targets, Kuempel
refused comment.



Hey - why not? We give drivers licenses to people who are blind or
clinically dead.

I don't know. I've written to my erected officials, but I never get an
answer.
