“Daunting”
Bill allows sightless to hunt with laser
Signed into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal, HB 39 authorizes the use of laser scopes by visually impaired hunters while hunting with a sighted individual. Prior to the law, sighted hunters had the daunting task of looking over an impaired hunter’s shoulder and then trying to guess if a rifle or shotgun was properly aligned to make a clean shot.
It’s appalling to think how many years blind people with rifles were legally barred from shooting at things—even with the assistance of an infallible technology like laser beams.
Once again, we find our country shamed into cultural evolution by the maverick, science-based activism of our Southern brothers.
What?
Your quote clearly states they weren’t barred from shooting at things, they had to have someone look over their shoulder, which is absolutely ridiculous. Talk about a way to make it so someone accidentally gets shot.
The article admits the lasers are frequently miscalibrated, but its a huge improvement.
