Re: Blind student

As an instructor, we have the right to refuse to teach someone, correct? Are there limitations on the "why" for that refusal?

Personally, I would not feel safe trying to administer the shooting proficiency to a blind person I did not know unless they were the only student, we were the only ones at the range, and someone I knew and trusted was with them any time I was down range (e.g. moving a target, etc.). In other words, there would have to be someone with them 100% of the time to control the firearm.

If the blind person was someone I knew and trusted, I would relax that some, but would still take added precautions. Too much risk is involved.
