baby bubba's gotta gun.....permit

Gun control means using both hands and hitting what you're aiming at. Somehow, I don't think Little Finster....er, BUBBA, can pick up the gun with both hands, much less aim it. But if the beaureaucrats wanna control everything, they should be happy with this story. Next thing you know, you'll need a permit to build something on property that you already own.

Baby 'Bubba' Gets State Gun Permit
Bubba Ludwig cannot 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 at 2 feet, 3 inches, weight at 20 pounds and has a scribble where the signature should be.

"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.
