HELLO,
i live in state of maine. i am a deaf man. i have guns for my protection and hunting. i often open carry in my town which is very rural. i own a small farm. so im thinking about getting a CC permit and was told that i must attend safety course and that it would cost me 75 clams. so i went to a gunshop and paid 150 clams , one for me and one for my wife. i requested to have an ASL interpreter (american sign language) provided for us at the scheduledseminar.
Few days before the seminar started, i got a call on videophone and was told that there will be no interpreter provided AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AND PROVIDED AN INTERPRETER MYSELF. (sorry about caps). the cost for an interpreter will be 75clams an hour. since the seminar would take about 8 hours. that would cost us a fortune. and iasked the guy at thegunshopif i can bring my ten years old son who is hearing and can sign ASL and that he can interp for us. he say no. the interpreter would have to be licensed and certified professional. so now ,what ? the hell with it i was given a right to bear my arms and i felt im being really hassled and screwed for trying to get a CC permit just because i can't hear. FYI, i can sure as hell aim my gun better than dick cheney.
its been almost three months since i paid the fee for the instruction and still havent gotten my refund yet. and im thinking about just to go and apply for my permit without innstructional class. but i wonder will they issue me one if i dont go to the seminar ?
thanks in advance if any help can done for me. ( pardon my bad grammar as english is not my primary language).
