Not-lanta Plastic toy gun and a baby’s gun ID card
Posted by Tammy Vinson on Wed, May 16, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Two teenage boys are being held in a juvenile detention center in a small Kansas town for holding up a Dollar General. Their weapon of choice: a purple squirt gun wrapped in black electrical tape. According to Kansas City's KMBC-TV, “the purple plastic toy was recovered from the downtown Dollar General store by officers who caught the suspects, ages 11 and 14, within minutes of the holdup, police said Tuesday." KMBC-TV also reports, "No one was injured in the holdup Monday afternoon, and the water pistol was empty.â€
If the ages of the squirt-gun-wielding attempted robbers don't shock you, it probably will shock you that a baby received an Illinois gun card. According to CBS News, the 10-month-old was issued a card that "lists the baby's height (2 feet, 3 inches), weight (20 pounds) and has a scribble where the signature should be." As unreasonable as it seems, there is no age restriction on gun cards according to Illinois law.
