I know people in North America love their hunting but this is nuts.

Information for Hunters with Disabilities, Permits
Information and applications for all the following are available at DNR Operations Service Centers.
Legally blind hunters may use laser sighting devices to take game, subject to all other regulations, with a firearm or crossbow if all the following conditions are met:
The person is accompanied by a sighted person who is at least 18 years of age;
The sighted person possesses proof of a current or previous hunting license (other than an apprentice license) or proof of successful completion of a hunter safety class;
The legally blind person possesses the appropriate hunting license and proof of impairment in the form of a Secretary of State ID card.
No permit is necessary for this accommodation.
It goes on to say that a blind person in a wheelchair who has lost an arm can hunt with a bow.
What could possibly go wrong?
I'm guessing the NRA have quite a say in Michigan... :)
