Amadeus Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Baby 'Bubba' gets a gun permit CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- "Bubba" Ludwig can't walk, talk or open the refrigerator door -- but he does have his very own Illinois gun permit. The 10-month-old, whose given name is Howard David Ludwig, was issued a firearm owner's identification card after his father, Howard Ludwig, paid the $5 fee and filled out the application, not expecting to actually get one. The card lists the baby's height (2 feet, 3 inches), weight (20 pounds) and has a scribble where the signature should be. With some exceptions, the cards are required of any Illinois residents purchasing or possessing firearms or ammunition within the state. There are no age restrictions on the cards, an official said. "Does a 10-month-old need a FOID card? No, but there are no restrictions under the act regarding age of applicants," he said. Ludwig, 30, of Chicago, applied for the card after his own father bought Bubba a 12-gauge Beretta shotgun as a gift. The weapon will probably be kept at Ludwig's father's house until the boy is at least 14. There's the little shooter: And I'm sure that 12 gauge will come in handy during playground disputes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
