BBC — Bubba Ludwig may only be 10 months old, but he has already successfully obtained a gun licence in the US state of Illinois.

Bubba’s father, Howard Ludwig, applied on his behalf after his grandfather gave him a shotgun as an heirloom.

Mr Ludwig said he had not expected to succeed, but he filled in the online form, paid $5 and the licence was his.

[…]

Mr Ludwig said Bubba’s gun would likely remain at his grandfather’s house until he was 14.

“I’m not about to approve any unsupervised hunting or trap shooting for Bubba,” he wrote in the Chicago daily.

“Still, I’m glad he was able to get his FOID card. It makes an adorable addition to his baby book.”
