    disabled and need help

    Hey All,

    I am new to Calguns.net and I am looking for some help. I am a quadriplegic who was shot when I was 14.I still believe in gun right despite what happened to me. My friends are into going to the range and shooting. I realy feel left out. I found a site that has adaptive equipment but it is kind of pricey. Can anyone help or have ideas? please help.

    Hi Kevin:

    Just a suggestion to get more response and advice... can you post links or images of the adaptive equipment you are speaking of?

    Perhaps some skilled members here could fabricate a similar setup for you if they could see what you are wanting.

    Good luck!

      Hi Kevin welcome to the board. Do you have movement of your head or only some features of the face?

        I know these are expensive and you may have seen these. Here is one alternative. (http://www.beadaptive.com) Maybe this will also help fellow CGer's in adding more suggestions.

          Sorry to hear about your disabilities. My friend was recently seriously injured in a motocross crash and he is a C5 incomplete.

          What is your level of injury and what do you have working? My friend has his arms, but no hand dexterity at all, so its hard for him to operate anything like a cell phone, video game controller etc.

              Hey thanks for the feedback. I am a C5-6 Quad and I can move my head well. I was shot in my right shoulder and through neck so I have limited use of right arm, but full left. Ya I don't have finger use either. The equipment is from beadaptive.com they have great stuff and I know it would work. I think the set up I need would be around $700 total Not sure what to do. Fundraising? I just don't know. Got a itchy trigger finger just want to be apart of something. Thanks or responding.

                  It'd be great if one of the mods of the CalGuns forum could set something up for us to donate to Kevin to help him get going.

                    Kevin, you could set up an account with a service like gofundme.com

                    If you do that and post back here, you'd find a lot of support.
