A Shooting Guide for the Blind

Angebote / Angebote:

This is a guide regarding the proper application of firearms, especially by those with any degree of visual impairment, with an emphasis on safe firearms usage when engaging in activities such as hunting, target shooting, and even self-defense at home or on the street. In these pages, the author, Mr. McWilliams, utilizes his thirty years of certified gun training to teach others with visual impairments, as well as those seeking to train them, all the various methods that have allowed him to pass countless shooting exams to obtain a number of state-issued concealed carry permits and hunting licenses. For this guide's creation, real guns from the author's personal firearms collection were used as props for certain technical sections, as well as old written text and recorded lectures obtained during his training through the National Rifle Association, law enforcement, and even the United States Army. Topics include how to identify, load, unload, and work with different types of firearms without the benefit of sight, how the military's techniques in close-quarters combat governs defensive shooting by the blind, case studies and official government research debunking the myth that blind people pose a greater danger than the sighted regarding firearm usage, and how to find resources to obtain training certification. This book, however, is only intended as a prelude to official gun training by a licensed instructor, not as a stand-alone manual for perspective blind gun users. It is the author's wish that such information included here bridges the gap between blind Americans and their constitutional right to bear arms.
