Download or read book A Shooting Guide for the Blind written by Carey McWilliams and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 selfaEUR"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 stateaEUR"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 closeaEUR"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 standaEUR"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.

You read about me in The National Enquirer, the Washington Post and the New York Times, but through it all the complete story was never told. Until now. Finally, it's my turn and the gloves are off. Ever since I passed the written and shooting exams in my home state of North Dakota to get my concealed weapons permit in 2001, I have been a figure in the national gun debate.Although it might be true that I could be the greatest threat to the Second Amendment as others have suggested, I stand alone and I do not bow to pressure from either side of the issue. My shooting ability is well-documented and is undeniable, so prepare to step into a world filled with Braille, machineguns, nuclear weapons, sailing ships, killer whales and tornadoes. This isn't a soft, blind man conquers all type of fluff biography, but it is a hard hitting, bare knuckles, although at times humorous, look into the life of America's first sightless gun slinger, Carey McWilliams.

Download or read book The Blind Photographer written by Julian Rothenstein and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blind photographer cannot see a butterfly perched perfectly still on a flower, a bowl of sweet-smelling fruit, or a child's rattle on a darkened floor, but the mind's eye is sharply focused. How then, do blind or partially sighted people capture such extraordinary images? The photographs in this revelatory book suggest a deeper truth: that blindness is itself a kind of seeing, and that those who can see are often blind to the strangeness and beauty of the world around them. As the blind photographer Evgen Bavcar writes, "Photography must belong to the blind, who in their daily existence have learned to become the masters of camera obscura." Through the photographs of more than fifty blind or partially sighted people from around the world, this exhilarating book—the first to explore this phenomenon in all its vibrancy and diversity—will make you see differently.
