Yesterday I went to turn in my pistol permit application. I can't get fingerprinted because I am a double amputee. The officer told me I need fingerprints and I responded that have no fingers. I asked if stub prints will work and he said maybe.

In the end the officer told me that they will most likely not issue a pistol permit but he'll get back to me next week.

I just sent some letters to ADA lawyers and thinking of going to the NRA. I will like feedback on the situation. Is this an ADA violation? Civil rights violation?

Ok, may be insensitive and ignorant but I gotta ask. How do you hold and fire a pistol?

Here’s a guy that I shoot three gun with that is missing all or most of his hands. Look it up it’s on YouTube everywhere.

To the OP

I would say it’s a violation of assessability laws. If you asked me, restrictions based based on a handicap seems like a violation of the law to me.

I think mentioning that to the police should go along way, it’s not like they can’t figure out who you are.

What county are you in?

Keep us posted.

I'm having a pretty hard time believing this isn't trolling; especially considering this account shares a home cable account IP with a known user whom I'd expect something like this from.
That said, that person hasn't logged on to the forum since late Jan, but had one confirmed instance I just discovered of a multiple account already.

So, I suppose I'll feel bad if I'm wrong.. but I'm not buying it and it really annoys me when someone mocks the forum and wastes the time of people willing to make genuine responses.
This would be especially disgusting if someone was feigning/mocking being handicapped for a "joke"/troll.

If I were the judge who is up to sign your permit, besides the required classes I would want to see a physical demonstration of your ability to handle and shoot a firearm safely. If you feel that violates any of your rights and refuse I'd simply turn you down and feel justified in doing so.

Sorry but, show me you can do it...

Where does the constitution say anything about abilities? WTF does that have to do with anything?

oh boy... here come the what if's. I said if I was the judge. I'm not a judge. I am a tool maker and had to pass a 16 hour PERFORMANCE TEST to get machinist papers. A piece of paper.

Again you are right. I, as a make believe judge think it is a good idea regardless of what anyone says. Another judge may let it fly, this one AIN'T...

Exercising your "Rights" is not defined or pre-requisite that you have an "ability"... Otherwise a "IQ" test in order to vote would be instituted tomorrow!

And yes, subject is that far out there for a .177bb to be a troll. Karma may get me, but I too call BS!

County & Officers name would be helpful.

Ummmm, officers don't issue permits, nice try!

ADA lawyers? Who? And going to the NRA for what? Are you a member? You sent letters to lawyers, not on retainer? If retained, they would be answering your ADA and Civil Rights questions, thereby eliminating the need to ask such questions online.
