Anyone else think that this is odd??

Taken from the CA DOJ HSC Manual for Instructors and Dealers. If someone cannot physically perform the demonstration, wouldn't that mean that they cannot use the gun properly?? IDK i don't mean to be a hater but ehhh

Someone could assist them at the range etc...Seems to make sense to me to have this exemption so people with physical issues can still enjoy gun ownership.

Well, Disarmed Marksman doesn't need assistance shooting but, it would not be possible for him to do everything the way the DOJ wants him to.

Another friend of mine was/is(?) involved in taking kids from a school for the blind out shooting. Obviously, a blind shooter would be incapable of the required visual inspections of a firearm. Yet, most of them really enjoy shooting safely and, many are better shots (with a little assistance and coaching) than a lot of members here.

Just because someone can't go through the DOJ's cookie cutter safety demonstration, it doesn't mean that he/she is incapable of handling a firearm safely.

Now the scary thing. A mental defect is a "medical condition". Does that mean that CA makes it easier for a mentally unbalance person to buy a gun? It could.
