Blind people with firearms...only in Texas!

<p>I wasn't sure if this was political enough to put in the politics forum, because it is more funny then controversial or relating to 2nd Amendment debates.</p><p>This was taken from the DenverPost.com website:</p><p><strong>Austin, Texas -</strong> 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. </p><p>A bill filed for the 2007 legislative session would permit legally blind hunters to use laser sights or lighted pointing instruments. </p><p>&quot;This opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think that's great,&quot; said Republican Rep. Edmund Kuempel, the bill's sponsor</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_4821823">http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_4821823</a></p><p>As an NRA member and outdoorsman, I just don't feel right with having blind people in the woods with firearms. </p><p>Take it away..............I can just imagine the photoshops.</p>

<font size="2">I lived in Texas (Houston/Galveston) in the&nbsp;mid-1980s and at that time it was legal in Texas to drive with an open container of alcohol <strong><u>and</u></strong> a loaded weapon in your car.&nbsp; Made for some real interesting &quot;road rage&quot; incidents.</font>
