SAPS and new firearm licenses

[Traveler]

And you thought I was about to complain.......


My local SAPS just delivered my last outstanding licenses that was printed recently.

Thanks officers, that is much more than I expected.

[Traveler]

and I really dont give a hoot.

Glad to hear

[OOOOMS]

Dis nou goeie diens

[WayneSchalk]

I got a letter (2 years after I applied)stating my application was not successful, the letter was stamped on 2011-03-05 and was posted to me on 2011-05-25

at the end of the letter it said I have 90 days to appeal their decision....... :?

[Modder]

Het my 2 nuwe lisensies ook gister gekry, na slegs 7 maande vandat ek dit ingedien het. So dit lyk of dinge darem nou daar bietjie gebeur.

Wayne, ek stel voor jy teken steeds appel aan, my broer was in dieselfde bootjie en ek het sy appel vir hom gedoen. Hy het vandag sy lisensie ook gekry.

[hendrik.earle]

Ek en my suster het saam aansoek gedoen vir ons vuurwapen lisensies by sele polisie kantoor. Sy het 'n jaar gewag vir haar lisensie, ek het 3 jaar gewag en uiteindelik myne so maand trug eers gekry.

Wayne, that process is standard. You basically have 90 days from when you receive the refusal. Contact Martin Hood at MJ Hood and associates for your appeal. He has a nearly 100% success rate on applications and appeals.

The licenses that received yesterday was handed in over a 6 year period. One hunting rifle was applied for 2 months after the new processes started and the other rifle was handed in July of last year.

However, I still am impressed by the staff of Dawnpark Copshop, the last thing I ever expected was a delivery of licenses, and even less likely after 5pm in the afternoon. Thanks guys.

....... it does not make up for all the waiting yet

Mark ek wil mar net blikkies skiet met my 357 ek belowe, what the problem?

[Animul]

I received a call last night at 21h30 advising me to come and collect my licence and competency certificate from the police station otherwise they will send it back to ????

Apparently it's been laying with them since 2008. Luckily someone told me it is ready for collection - 3 years later ....

[Scorpion]

A bit OT, but how difficult is it to get a licence for a handgun these days? I got my licences for my 3 hunting rifles (yook them only 3 years...). I have never owned a handgun, but now want to buy myself a Glock 26 (also only want to shoot blikkies... ). What is advisable here?

[Animul]

From what I gathered it is more difficult to get a licence for a hand gun than for a rifle ... apparently due to armed robberies being committed with hand guns, etc.

Jip and it's easier to conceal a handgun and take it to a nightclub for instance

If you want to track / trace the progress of your applications you can phone... 012 353 6111

or to an ANCYL meeting

[Traveler]

I know of people who have had lisences (new) approved within 3-5 months on handguns as well.

Johann, go to someone like Martin Hood for your motivation if you want more certainty on an approval.

I kinda figured you for a Walther man. .... too many 007 movies, nê!

[Family_Dog]

Truth be told, I haven't even looked at it for about 15+ years. Hope it is still in the Safe... ;)

Shot 50 rounds though it at a shooting range when I bought it, and then the craze wore off

Landy's & Jeeps make excellent targets.

[Mud Dog]

Landy's & Jeeps make excellent targets.

Naah ..... they stop too often. Moving targets are better practise.

hence why its a hilux shooting day

back on topic

got my licenses, and asked where is my competency certificate or card or what ever its suppose to be

that has or will be posted to me. and me asked about the safe inspection, they said that on the form I said I have a safe, so if something goes wrong then the problems start. tell me its not meant to frustrate

and then heard something else, when this whole stink started they had targets of how many to decline every day, yep target the law abiding citizens.

so who is going to organize the hilux shoot? ?

[wim]

Cassie baie dankie vir die nommer ek het gebel en hulle het vir my gese dat my lisensie is goedgekeur Heng ek is bly ek het so drie maande terug aansoek gedoen vir die lisensie.Dis vir n Remington 270 wat ek gekoop het.Nou kan ons daai Hilux skiet begin reel.

[Modder]

Also heard of some guys today that only waited 3 months.

Hope my one I'm handing in this week also only takes that long.
