David Gordon meets all the requirements to be granted a Michigan CWP, even if he is blind. The Portage man is over the age of 21, he has completed a gun-safety course and doesn't have a criminal record or history of mental illness.
Gordon's application for a concealed weapons permit in Kalamazoo County has touched off debate over the rights of the blind to carry guns. Michigan's law does not specifically exclude people with disabilities or include any shooting accuracy requirements. |

"Just as those who signed the Declaration of Independence unilaterally declared to a candid world the causes that impelled them to embark on a deadly war for their survival as a free nation, we too must confidently declare that America has a moral right to defend itself."
"What America most needs is a new generation of intellectuals - an intellectual army that can defend the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Then, and only then, will America be armed to defend itself." By C. Bradley Thompson |

"Joshua Johnston inspired today's column. The University of Pittsburgh student said he used a .12-gauge shotgun to defend himself when two masked men broke into his Allentown home, according to police. The alleged intruders, who were charged with burglary, are at Mercy Hospital. Johnston was not charged. The District Attorney's Office could press charges after reviewing the evidence."

"The whole class of people from whom judges and law professors are drawn was overwhelmingly in favor of gun control and looked forward to the passage of laws that would effectively end private gun ownership, at least of non-hunting weapons. ... But at the same time, in the decade from 1965 to 1975, violent crimes nearly tripled in the United States, with very high crime rates in central cities with the nation's toughest gun control laws." -Michael Barone |
