Let your father decide for himself what is right for him and if he can sit through the class. It's worth the try. I would also inquire with the instructor what special assistance he could be allowed to help him endure the class.
I have a 4 & 6 year old and we have figured out how to have kids and guns in the house safely. My carry gun is always on my body. The rest of the guns are locked up. I have a system worked out when we are sleeping for gun accessibility.
Also, my 68 year old mother has her CHL at my encouragement.
That's my 2 cents.
Any instructor worth their salt will try to find allowable ways to help them complete the course.After that, it'll be up to them, with guidance from you, as to how, when and where to carry. Stuff you can work out after getting the license.
Folks with limited strength and agility are some of the most in need of a carry gun, assuming they are healthy enough to do so safely.
