    Perhaps, would need to hear their side of the story. They may have determined that the parent wasn't in fact helping the child. Then on top of that $24 for a day licence isn't much when it's free for the kids. Her responsibility for knowing the regs, no one elses. Going by the photos I'm sure she could have afforded it.

    Nah I’m not buying that. Did the right thing by getting licenses for the kids. What parent wouldn’t help a six year old child learn in the circumstances? There are far too many dickheads in officialdom sucking the fun out of life.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I hear you, may be right but like most news stories these days written without all sides of the story with sensationalism to achieve outrage. I'll give the officer the benefit of the doubt, he has enough tearing strips off him already. I feel her pain but we all know or should know there's no honest mistakes with fish and game (ducks etc). She should have saved the headache for all and paid $24 while doing her kids one.
