It is illegal to discriminate based on a legally protected class such as a disability. So, yes, there are blind CHL holders. Besides, blind people could "see" just not with their eyes. Some blind people have learned to echolocate by clicking their tongue, just like bats. One blind guy can DRIVE a bicycle using echolocation:
How does he know when the light is red?
Many cities have stoplights with audible solenoid switches;
1. rapid clicks like a machine gun = yellow
2. slower clicks like a clock = green
3. silence = red

You and I won't be able to hear the solenoids, but a blind person with extremely attuned hearing will.
