Terry Sutherland, who is legally blind, has challenged Indiana's gun laws after receiving a permit to carry a handgun. Initially joking about the idea, he later applied and was surprised to receive approval, prompting him to advocate for stricter testing. Sutherland argues that blind people should not be barred from gun ownership, but emphasizes the need for testing to ensure safety, as he believes the potential for harm to innocent bystanders is significant. His experience highlights ongoing debates about the intersection of disability rights and gun rights in America.
It's just an absurd notion, common-sense wise, for me to have a gun that I should be able to use for personal protection, when I'm more likely to shoot someone who's not involved - shoot an innocent person - than I am my own attacker.
I wonder if it's actually possible, and what would it mean if I could? I didn't think it was possible.
