This sort of shit happens all the time in the real world. She was a fool
for trusting the guy. She's lucky she's still alive.

Are you now advocating that blind people carry concealed firearms?

I pray they find this creep and when he resists arrest (if anyone ever
resisted this guy did) that they fuck him up *REAL GOOD*, lock him up, and
take away his food and water.

What choice did she have?

Good thing the police were there to protect her.

Sure. I doubt she could have missed at that range.

Long ago one of my buds, Rob, lost his sight to diabetes.

I learned to type and read Braille with him, and I used to take him for
rides on my motorcycle.

Long story made short;

One night he and his wife Peggy (also blind, met at blind school) were in
bed, and someone broke into their house, beat the shit out of Rob, dragged
Peggy by her hair to the front door, kicked her in the head and left. I
suppose the burglars/robbers/shitbags never realized that the two people
they were fucking up were blind, but somehow I dont care.

I went with Rob to a local gun store where he wanted to purchase a shotgun
and a handgun, and the guy at the desk says "I don't think I can sell a gun
to a blind man."

Guess how that went.

I've taken a class on how to shoot while blindfolded, and several
classes on shooting in the total darkness.

Yep.

We left with an 870 Wingmaster with an 18" barrel, a Walther PPKS, and a
Combat Commander.

We used to go to Pier 49 and buy the Chinese coffee cups for $34 a hundred.

Take them to the beach.

Toss a coffee cup as close or as far as I wanted, and they could hit it
within 1 to 3 shots of the handgun, and every shot of the 870 Wingmaster.

Bad guy didnt stand a chance in their bedroom.

I used to holler in the driveway and bang on the wall on the outside of the
house before I came to the door.

Agreed. I know that particular train station well. There are some
"unsavory" people that hang around there. And since it is the last stop
on a major train line, you would figure that there would be police
around. Guess not. I do hope they nail this punk. But then, someone like
Greg will gladly defend him.

Does this, in some way, suggest to you that it's OK, that there should be no
means for reacting to such a personal attack?

The term "concealed weapon" is not limited to firearms. Stun guns and
similar items are addressed in the Florida law. Now, back to your question,
"should blind people carry concealed weapons?" This one should have.

While on the subject, the person that assaulted her was not only carrying a
concealed weapon, he used it in a crime. Laws against doing so do not
appear to have been effective. Seems to me, we all said they wouldn't be.
So far, that's not slowed down those that would pass more of them.
