    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...
