Per page 22 of the LTC Course Outline published by the Texas Department of Public Safety, "An oral examination may be administered to a student who may have difficulties in completing a written format."NNT wrote:Are there provisions for an oral exam instead of written?
Personally the only time I would be comfortable with a blind person shooting in self defense is if the bad guy was in physical contact with him. Just like I, as a person with sight, would not shoot in the dark. Isn’t one of the safety montras ‘know your target and what lies beyond your target’? All due admiration for blind people being independent, but they can’t see me across the street from their target. In their own home maybe a different story, but bullets do go through wall, right?

Re: Blind student
I shot my qualification with my eyes closed as a bet with the instructor who said I could not get a perfect score with a 45. If being effectively blind is ok, being actually blind should be too.
As a LTC instructor myself, I have not encountered someone that was even legally blind, but I do not recall vision requirements as a condition to get a LTC. They either pass the shooting qualification or they don't.
