[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3235742, member: 43724"] I'm sorry your grandfather went through that and I can see how you would feel the way you do, but objectively I would have to say no. You say he could handle a rifle practically as well as ever, but in what setting? At a range where he felt comfortable? What would happen if he was attacked again and had to try and pull the trigger properly while under stress? What would his reaction times be given his arthritis? Granted, neither one of us could probably answer that question now, but its questions like that which should be asked before carrying a firearm in public. If he felt uncomfortable even carrying a smaller caliber, say a .380 or even a .22, then he probably wouldn't have carried a rifle. Not to mention its bulkier and heavier. While I agree that carrying a rifle should be allowed, that is completely different from being able to carry based on disabilities. I know a guy with no arms that can shoot a pistol with his feet just as well as most people can with two hands. Its pretty amazing to watch. But should he be able to carry that firearm in public? With watching him struggle to get into a shooting position while in a controlled environment I would say no. You may disagree with me on this, and thats fine. This is just my honest opinion. [/QUOTE]
