Legally blind, but still want to carry a loaded handgun out in public?
Not a problem if you live in Iowa.

Debate builds in Iowa over gun permits for the blind
Being legally blind is not a problem for Iowa residents who want to carry their handguns around in public.
The Hawkeye State quietly has been granting the conceal-carry permits to the legally blind since 2011. But there is a growing debate over that law, and its effectiveness in balancing gun safety against Second Amendment rights.
The Iowa State Sheriffs’ and Deputies’ Association says public safety is at risk and the law should be changed.
“If you can't see, why should you be arming someone to shoot out in the public,” said the group’s president, Washington County Sheriff Jerry Dunbar.
But Michael Barber, who is completely blind and recently received his conceal-carry permit, says carrying his handgun for protection is his constitutional right.
“The Second Amendment does not say we have the right to bear arms unless we're disabled. I should be able to protect my family just like you can, just like anyone else can,” Barber said.
