Baby Bubba gets his gun permit

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.

US gun laws are regularly the subject of fierce debate, renewed recently after April's Virginia Tech killings.
