Vision as it affects concealed carry (Philadelphia)
Hey, all.
I live in Philadelphia and I'm wondering how much my vision would affect my ability to be granted a concealed carry permit. I am blind in one eye but with glasses (that I do have) I am pretty much 20/20 in my other eye. I see from my limited research that PA is a shall-issue state, but I haven't yet seen a comprehensive list of what criteria you must meet to be issued a permit. I've already downloaded the application from the PPD website. I saw all the guidelines about former arrests and convictions and history of drug use and character reputation etc. but I didn't notice anything about being physically able enough to obtain a permit. I would just call the Gun Permits Unit of the PPD but they seem to be closed for the holidays.
I apologize for my ignorance. I am from Israel where obtaining permission to carry a gun isn't nearly this daunting. Thanks for any help you can offer.
