I'm mobility challenged, i.e., power chair. I made it through the normal class, because the class was in a public college (easy access) and the shooting class was at the Bass Pro store. However, the instructor did not address the carry issues for the disabled. For example, if you are sitting in a chair, placement of the carry holster in the small of the back is not an option. I've handled the issue by obtaining a CC fanny pack. I can wear it on the left side (I'm right handed) which allows me to have an easy cross-draw.

We have to consider all sorts of things for the mobility impaired. For example, hunting, using one of the golf carts with the oversized tires and old-west style carry for the rifle or shotgun. But these can all be overcome, just paying attention to your limitations and your needs, with a little ingenuity.

Thanks for recognizing the needs of the disabled and welcome.
