[Vision2020] Will Idaho be far behind?

[Tom Hansen]

Apparently if my visual acquity degenerates to virtual blindness, I will still be permitted to apply for, and be issued, a permit allowing me to carry a concealed weapon in Idaho.  

I won't be permitted to drive in Idaho, but I guess that I will simply go to Iowa and demand that I be issued a driver's license.  Failure on their part to do so would be a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
