    iowa grants gun permits to the blind

    I have low vision and can hit a bullseye with a good grouping at 30', I carry a 1911. I've never tried shooting in total darkness at a target but it would be interesting to "see" how well I'd do. Hitting the target is easy if sound is reflecting off it or if it forms a dead space in the...

    Can LE tell if you CCW from plates?

    I don't know how they couldn't... here in MS since you apply for your CCP at the ver same place you get your DL. They're both issued by the MS Highway Patrol.

    nearsighted newbie needs help

    As far as choosing a .45 Jim, the recommendations would be endless ;) I'm not a collector, I just wanted one good, reliable auto so I bought the Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec in stainless. I looooove that thing!
