Judge Rules Quadriplegic Can Bear Arms 15
A judge has ruled that 46-year-old quadriplegic James Cap has the right to bear arms even though he is, "physically unable to hold a gun or pull a trigger." Cap was an avid hunter until a spinal injury sustained in a college football game left him wheelchair bound. He applied for a gun permit in May 2007 and was turned down by the Manville, New Jersey police because he "couldn't’t control, load or unload a firearm himself." James is now looking for a suitable weapon to use in the upcoming deer season.

I live in one of the 4 states where you can hunt and be legally blind. (They must be accompanied by someone who can see).

This doesn't scare me nearly as much. I'm guessing you are correct and he'll be hunting from a blind, but at least he isn't blind.
