Blind Gunslinger

VICE arrives in North Dakota to witness life as America’s foremost blind outdoorsman and gun enthusiast. At 27, Carey McWilliams became the first totally blind person in the USA to acquire a conceal and carry permit. Despite weapons training during his Army ROTC years, McWilliams has faced opposition to his right to bear arms from both the media and public officials. Once a fervent antihunter, McWilliams now views hunting as a way to connect to a system greater than himself and cope with PTSD brought on by a recent violent dog attack. In his down time, he carries a loaded pistol to the grocery store.
