Supposed to be? Per whose instructions? My attorney's.
Define "operating". He's at the controls moving the scoop up and down and smiling and waving at the camera.... or he's got the entire vehicle in motion with a load roaming the neighborhood?
He is digging up dirt and smiling and waving. My point is my child has not been put in a safe position. Many states have mandatory laws children must be wearing a helmet to even ride a bike! Are you implying this is different?
Are you planning to argue that the presence or absence of a card impacts safety? I wouldn't. Sure, he should have a card. That he doesn't is a licensing issue for the state. But your burden is to show that it's RELEVANT to the direct issue at hand......of the child's ACTUAL physical safety.....? How will you convince a court that having/not having makes a gun more or less likely to discharge?
It's a Class 4 felony in Illinois to own firearms without a FOID card and a domestic violence charge preventing him from obtaining one. One would think a felony charge could mean a reversal of custody, but maybe I'm just am imbecile.
In and of itself not an issue. The key, again, is the DETAILS. Is dad there with him, within arm's reach, teaching the child, or is the child decked out like Rambo and allowed to roam and shoot freely? If the later, there are issues, if the former, no issues. Even IDNR doesn't put a minimum age on firearm restriction, only on an age where a minor must be accompanied to the state taught safety course (adult supervision required if 10 or under).
Not likely.
