Hey, if they issued me a hand-gun license, they'll give anyone a license 'grin'.


They had great fun down a the sheriff's office over that one.

Heh! That's great. A blind guy is the designated driver. I can see 2 wasted
guys explaining this, with complete sincerity, to the police. But yeah, I
hear you about sighted folks. And I'm sure everyone else does too. I was
just talking to a blind friend about that today. We were marveling at how it
never changes. Oh well. I don't want to put a damper on this crazy thread.
So maybe I'll see if I can get a hunting license. Ha!
