and it's amazing how the people who gave him the license basically want to defend it.

Haha! Do you mean the grandfather who gave him the gun to begin with, or the cats who granted him the license?

You think? Or do you think they were making a statement? Although I'm really not sure what that statement is, and believe you me, I've been thinking about it! I thought maybe it was like a "loyalty to teh system" thing, but I just don't know. Maybe they did it just to bring attention to it, but for what purpose?

The Lt. overseeing the thing sent it back to the guy twice and said, "I don't see why a 10-month old would need a FOID, but we followed the law on this one." The law does not state one needs to be of a specific age to hold a license.

Maybe he really did do it just to bring it to everyone's attention, knowing something this bizarre would make it into the papers?

I don't know. Heh. It's so silly, I find it hard to believe it's problematic, but then, with all the school shootings, maybe the guy was trying to call attention to the "loophole" in the system?

10-month-old is legally licensed - especially considering the fact, so appropriately provided by the Libertarian dude, that licensed gun holders rarely commit murders. I tell you, I'm just getting sick of reading about 10, 11, 12-month-old kids going on these shooting sprees.

And yet another item to add to the list of "Things to give your recently born grandchild."

Yeah! I'm glad someone else followed that link. I love that quote! I, too, will sleep better knowing that 10-month old is statistically less likely to commit a crime now that he is licensed.

That awful bank attempt in LA several years back should have been the real wake-up call. You know, when those babies got on their Armored Onesies and had to be brought down by pretty much the entire force?

When that kid asked for his mommy... I knew, I just knew.

legally holding a gun licence then there is nothing to stop any minor holding one. If that is the case what other omissions in the law are there?

In Britain no one under 18 may hold a gun licence. You have to prove why you need a gun licence and the police can object to your having one.

Certain guns are illegal. In fact the British Olympic shooting team have to do some of their training abroad because some of the disciplines require guns that are illegal in Britain.

It's expected that the "hillbilly" bunch would train a kid to use a gun...but I do believe even they will wait till the kid is out of diapers...I do love the image of a Pampers, gun toting baby:) Bugs Bunny comes to mind. Hahahahaha!
