FACT CHECK: Does Iowa Grant Gun Permits to Blind People?
tulc(...isn't sure what to think about this...)It is true that Iowa law allows for the granting of gun permits to individuals who are legally or completely blind, although technically, it was never the case that blind people were barred from owning firearms on the explicit basis of their visual impairment.
A change in regulations (implemented in 2011, not 2018) made it easier for people with limited sight or other physical disabilities, to acquire a gun permit, and gave licensing authorities less leeway in deciding whether and to whom they would issue a permit.
