How To Buy A Gun In South Africa 

> When the bug bites you'll be sorry What do you mean by this ?

@@FirstTimeDad23 Do competency in all 3. Handgun,shotgun and rifles. Then when you want to buy a rifle later you don't have to do it all over again.

@@benlouw7009 Ahh thank you.

@benlouw7009 does the price change or its still the same?

Just turned 20 and have done all the of them, now looking at buying a Cz p10c and then a diamondback ar15 later on down the line.

Absolutely no science behind SAPS😂

Yet the LAW says 90days... Sad how the fools in power do NOT follow the law...

Same as mine eish I waited a very long time

Self defense is legal in South Africa. But there is a difference between self defense and gun ownership. The need to defend yourself is not an automatic entitlement to own a gun. Same way the need to drive a car in an emergency situation (like driving a dying person to the hospital) does not mean you should be allowed to own a car. What I'm trying to say is, regardless of whether you have a gun license or not, when it comes to defending your life... you can use any gun for self defense. If there happens to be a gun laying around while someone is shooting at you, you have the right to use that gun to defend yourself. But when it comes to owning your own personal gun that will belong to you personally, it is not a right. So even if you lawfully defend yourself with a gun but the gun is not legally owned, you will not be penalized to harshly for defending yourself but the judge is going to be harsh on you for owning a weapon illegally. So you might avoid a murder charge, but you may get a manslaughter charge and also get banned from applying for a gun license.

@@angrysocialjusticewarrior To me, there is no difference between the two, the government permission slip means absolute zilch, nada, nothing. Unfortunately, I do not believe SA has an amendment similar to the 2A in America. Now, America has commie states that attempt to ban and enforce the permission slips, but they are continually getting shut down for violations of god given rights.

America Fill out a form Background check Unlimited ammo Unlimited magazines Buy guns into you're broke ccw Go to the local sheriff $10 copay Picture 5yrs

Where are you based

Thanks for all your input guys

Hey guys, awesome information. Have you managed to get a section 14 done before? Would like to find out how does one goes about getting that, or will it be easier to just do section 16?

​@@wadevanniekerk6130 waaaay simpler to just go for section 16. It is very difficult to motivate for 14. You are also incredibly limited with 200 rounds and a 2 year licence. Section 16 is simpler to get, you can have unlimited ammo, the licence is valid for 10 years and you can use it for any lawful purpose, including self defence.

Hey Mr Punisher 😎, unfortunately, many guys suffered long waiting periods during the pandemic. The Covid backlog has since been cleared up and approval times are close to normal. We absolutely agree with that statement; the sooner you start, the sooner you will be successful. And we appreciate your comment - we strive to make the firearm licensing process as easy as possible for everyone!

Hey Sibs, good question. 1. You only need a safe when applying for the firearm licence. (step 3) 2. Technically SAPS must do an in person inspection, however due to limited resources, most DFOs will be satisfied with photos and a safe declaration form👍

@@gunlicence Thank you for the clarification 👍🏽

Come to America

@@Dgtrscn yeah man😂😂😂

@@Uncleprepper1 I don't think the Bible says anything about that.

@@michaelsmith8028 You do realize the 12 apostles were armed with swords right? Of course you wouldn’t. Because you don’t actually read the Bible. Well here is your opportunity. Educate yourself before approaching me. Especially when it comes to Gods ( Yahawah’s) word.

@@Uncleprepper1 Yes. I know they carried swords. Christ instructed them to have swords for that specific situation. Also pridefull boasting and making assumptions about my Biblical knowledge is not something that you should be proud of.

Unfortunately no science behind the police😅 We have recently had several clients wait less than 1 month. The average if we factor several hundred applications is around 2-3 months, obviously many people do wait longer. The wait time also runs in cycles, so it will keep changing. The important thing is you have done what most people will never do and handed in your application😁👍

@@gunlicence I really appreciate the reply. I think the thing is you guys are operating in the Western Cape where I am in the Eastern Cape (PE). The police station I went to is absolutely clueless. I finished my proficiency training and tests in March already (handgun, manually operated and self loading). I made my appointment to hand it in for competency, and when I arrived on the day (after I put in leave from work) they were absolutely stunned that I was there. I then got told that their system is down (was down for over a month) and they wouldn’t help me. I finally handed it in on the 8th of May and I’m currently still waiting. it’s now been in process at CRC for the past few months. But yes, at least it’s in. Now just the waiting game. Even though it might be a headache and a half I would strongly encourage any law abiding citizens to get this done. Jy kan nie n vis vang as jou lyn nie in die water is nie… nou wag ons maar en kyk wat byt 😂

Poscast would be sick, we're looking into it

You would need be a licensed collector

100%

Thanks man

Hang in there!

Thanks man

wow

If allowed by the owner of the property

Hi there 😁. The last airline we came in contact with, regarding flying with firearms, was LIFT. I would recommend contacting them beforehand to confirm any specifics surrounding their firearm policies. Hope this helps!

@gunlicence7269 Thank you for the reply , I will contact them in due course . Hopefully, the process is seamless and smooth, and my weapon makes it to the end of the flight without getting "Lost"

I will be sure to get in contact with you with an update of my experience . Regards

Thanks!@@sl-uj3px , please do! 😁

Hi there Gwakie 🙂, we strive to always deliver on our full money-back guarantee (we have been very successful thus far) and therefore we draft such large comprehensive motivations. SAPS has a long list of reasons why they can refuse an applicant, so our mission is to block each and every one of those reasons. While a 40 to 70 page motivation might sound excessive, we make sure that we cover all bases 💪

@@gunlicence Hi folks, thanks for the response... understood.

Thanks man, glad you enjoy the content

Hi there @on_the_saddle 😁your friend would be able to apply for these firearms, should he complete the steps of obtaining his proficiency certificates and applying for his competency. SAPS has confirmed that if the licence holder has passed, and the firearm licences were not renewed before the holder passed, a new applicant may still hand in applications for those firearms. The executor/administrator of the deceased's estate would simply have to sign the SAPS 271 forms 👌

Thanks dude, glad you liked it

You must have a safe in your house, the police will need to see pics

Thanks dude!

Gotta be the one in your area

So it'll basically mean you restart the whole process from scratch

Those are the minimum requirements yes

Thanks man

As far as I understand, if you're buying it as a private citizen to use for person protection then yes

Thanks man!!

Hi there Deshan 😄, you do not have to redo any proficiency training in order to license a second handgun. Your competency will only have to be renewed alongside your S13 handgun when the time comes. So, you would use the same proficiency certificates and competency certificate for a S15 licence application. Please let us know if we can help you out with your S15 application, once you're ready 😁

@gunlicence7269 thanks so much, appreciate it 🙏

Get a friend and a colleague

@@mawethusunduza1047 Thanks!

Sorry meant to say FAST😅

Thanks man

Thanks dude

Do you mean, buy the firearm in the US and bring it to SA? I dont think it's allowed. It has to be bought via an approved firearm dealership in SA

@@greymanoperations yes i meant that thank you so much 🌹

Thats insane

How many years the competence of three fire arms are available for business perpuse and for my own handgun please clarity R

Hi there Marco 😁, a competency certificate will expire after 5 years if you have not licensed any firearms after obtaining your SAPS-issued competency. If you were only issued a Section 13 licence, you would simply renew your competency each time you renew your firearm licence. For the guys who have licensed firearms under Section 15, competency would be renewed every 10 years. If you work in the private security industry, it is also a good rule of thumb to renew your competency 5 years after the issue date. I hope this helps! 🤘

Same here 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi there Ian 😁 , you can apply for any semi-automatic rifle such as an AK or AR-15 should you follow the correct process (Proficiency, Competency, achieving your Dedicated Status, and finally Licensing). You are allowed to transport any firearm in a bag, box or holder/holster which has been designed or adapted to carry that firearm - you may also use that firearm for self defence, should there be an imminent and unlawful attack against human life. However, the firearm cannot be exposed (firearms have to be fully concealed in any public space) and the firearm may not be left in your vehicle when you are not present 👍

@@gunlicence appreciate it, thank you
