Laser Sights for legally blind hunters
Easier hunting for legally blind hunters. You think it's a dream? Not at all. House bill 308, which the House sent to Senate makes the dream come true. It allows them to use laser sights, which are currently forbidden for hunting in Texas. Kuempel wrote the legislation that would allow legally blind hunters to use laser sights during hunting hours and when accompanied by a licensed hunter who is at least 13 years old and is not legally blind.
At the moment in Texas there no requirements for legally blind hunters. All they need to hunt is a valid Texas hunting license. There is no requirement that they must be accompanied by anyone, either. Most of the legally blind people don't even know that they can hunt. And those who do, say that it's very difficult. Even though they are allowed to hunt without a partner, it's almost impossible. So, in this case we might think that this bill has its advantages.
