But I copied one particular post from that below.. I don't know if this user still comes to the forum or not, but thought it worth posting.

e: Blind CHL applicant

In 1996 we were told by Lt. Dan Walker that a blind person would not be issued a CHL. He told our instructor class that DPS had been challenged on that position and he confirmed that a blind person would not be issued a license.

This seems like a discrimination lawsuit just waiting to be filed, assuming of course that the person can meet all of the stated requirements for the license.

Which of course begs the question of whether we should have formal rules in place requiring an eye exam as part of the LTC test (like we do for driver's licenses).
