They can't get a hunting license in Britain. But in four states of the USA they can. Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas.
There are various restrictions on when and how. Most importantly, the blind person must have a guide/companion/accomplice/"spotter" with good vision, who can guide where they shoot.
