Do a lot of blind people shoot?

[flywise]

Same as an ATM, makes no since

[Twist]

Nope, but things like that can be chalked up to either a goobermint agency trying to justify their existence or people trying to keep from being sued.

Keeps a blind person from going into the wrong room.

[Hunting4fun]

Makes perfect sense. A blind person feels that and immediately knows not to enter.

[Man]

I have never seen anyone touch brail on a sign that was actually blind.

Exactly. It’s not like a blind person knows the sign is there without someone telling them, or n which case they’re probably aware of where they’re at either by the shots (in this case) or someone having told them.

ADA specifies were those signs are to be installed. Every building has the signs on the same side of the door at the same height.

I’ve had days of shooting that you would have thought I was blind!

You’re definitely not wrong, that does kind of ties into the “justification” comment from my first post though. It kind of goes without saying.

That said, there’s also a reason why there’s roadside signs advising against picking up hitchhikers in Prison areas. It’s either a CYA thing or more likely, someone has done exactly that at some point in time.

You do understand that not every vision impaired person is 100% unable to see, right?

it’s possible to be able to see the sign and not be able to distinguish the letters.

and it’s an ADA requirement

I do.

The first chiropractor I ever saw was just like that. “Legally” blind, but he could see about 2-3’ in front of him and that was about it. Dr. Bradley in La Porte, as I recall. Great chiropractor by the way, best one I ever went to up to this point in time, and that was right at 35 years ago.

As you, and Txhunter30000 both mentioned, it’s an ADA thing. They have all kind of ridiculous requirements, but it is what it is.

They have the same thing at the DPS drivers license place. Explain that!!

You don’t need eyesight to get a state issued identification card so you can conduct business around town.

I’ve never understood the logic behind the designation “legally blind.” Blindness seems like an absolute to me; either you can see, or ya can’t.
