How much does it cost to get a gun license

Not sure who's feeding you this garbage Intel, but section 13's are being approved every month, just like the other sections, time to get some new friends.
The proficiency training is of more than a concern at this point in time, I've created a thread on that.
Good to hear. So it's not true that applications get rejected?

Please link your thread here thanks.

Anyway, I hear you. You always hear about how corrupt SAPS are but every interaction I've ever had with them (last one was 10 years ago when I was scraping my rims of my G7 GTi along Ridge Road Durban because I was totally smashed beyond recognition because I had too much to drink at my mate's BD that died the year before and was very emotional), but the 2 SAPS officers in their toyota hilux treated me with respect and they even said I was the nicest person they ever arrested. They never even put me in cuffs or in the back. I sat in front with them on the way to Addington for the blood draw. I tried my best to bribe them but they were having none of it and didn't even make my life worse by adding more charges for my illegal advances. End of the day I ended up with the cop on whatsapp where he would send me jokes and roadblock updates.

Applications do get refused, majority of the time it is an administrative error, however, there are a few that get refused because a DFO (designated firearms officer) has a god complex and thinks he knows the FCA or knows best.

Does that happen with section 16?

Sorry, thank you for the links but I'm in no condition to read anything at the moment.

Of course, administrative errors can occur from your side (applicant) side as well, but the majority of the time it's a document that gets lost / misplaced in the process, remember your local police station is where you submit, then it has to go to provincial and then to CFR, anything from 4 to 6 months on average from submission, so documents can easily become lost / misplaced, because it's a large stack of paperwork.

Doesn't that happen on purpose to screw over the citizen because of alterior motives of disarming us from the frog boiling orders of the establishment?

How do the professional application services okes guarantee success if they have to deal with these rouge P.O.S. like us commoners?

Exactly, how do you not expect to lose documents if that is your filing system ?

Remember, the SAPS sole purpose of existence is to issue case numbers for insurance purposes.

Thanks to the ANC and their frog boiling plans from day one back in the mandela rainbow nation euforia era. How these american NGO's have been allowed to right rough shot over our soverign rights is anyones guess. All I can say is that I'm glad America has a new shoot-from-the-hip sheriff in town that is not associated with the past establishment and their evil plans.
 
Isn't it true that section 13 (self protection?)always fails and that's why you need to do section 16 (sport)?

Apologies if I got the numbers wrong, I'm no expert, just a concerned citizen.

If its true, what are we as citizens doing about this section 13 injustice?
You've asked the same question about 4 times. Are you hoping for a different answer?
 
So it seems I would need to do an app for S16.

Licence to possess a firearm for occasional hunting or sports shooting (section 15)
A person may possess four firearms for the purpose of this section, which is a handgun not fully automatic; a rifle or shotgun, which is not fully/semi-automatic; or the barrel, frame or receiver of such a handgun, rifle or shotgun, which is regarded a firearm and must also be licensed.

If a person is in possession of a firearm licence for self-defence in terms of section 13, he/she may only apply for three firearm licences for the purpose of this section. Applications in terms of sections 13 and 15 collectively may not exceed four firearms.

The licence, which is issued in terms of this section, is valid for 10 years, unless it is cancelled or terminated in terms of the Firearms Control Act, 2000.
Licence to possess a firearm for dedicated hunting or dedicated sports shooting (section 16) and professional hunting (section 16A)
The Firearms Control Act, 2000, does not put a limitation on the number of firearms a person may possess under this category. The firearms for the purpose of this section include a handgun, which is not fully automatic; a rifle or shotgun, which is not fully automatic; any semi-automatic shotgun manufactured to fire no more than five shots in succession without having to be reloaded or the barrel, frame or receiver of a handgun, rifle or shotgun, which is regarded as a firearm and must also be licensed.
I already have 1 x S13 and 3 x S15 licenses.
I was aware of going S16 with my next gun, whichever it may have been. Either the shotgun or a custom-built chassis, whichever came first. Looks like the custom gun will have to wait a bit.

Since 2022 I have renewed one S13 license, and I have applied for a new S15 twice. At some stage, I could have done it with my eyes closed. Will have to revisit my license app folders to get up to speed again.

I have a permit to keep my father's 30-06 Brno in my safe for 12 months. He bequeathed this gun to my oldest boy, who is only 8 now.

At the time I went to the DFO for assistance regarding the safekeeping of the Brno she got a tear in her eye and sorted me out with a permit chop-chop. I have been doing so many apps etc they know me by now. Very thankful for that.

She said if the permit lapses I must just come to her and she will renew it. Afaik the Executor of the estate needs to give instructions for the gun to be dealer-stocked and then I can apply for an S16 license in my name until my boy is of age.

So, what is it like doing licenses every 5 years vs having it valid for life like our drivers license in our ID book?

Well, you have to submit a renewal with a motivation stating why you still need the gun for S13. Stupid AF.
And the 5 years go by quickly.
 
I remember everyone flocking to police stations to hand in their weapons under threat of being arrested when GFSA got their way.

Wasn't the amnesty period created by foreign funded NGO GFSA? Most of these NGO's ****ing up our country like the ones like GFSA and the ones protecting the tent people and the zama zamas are American.

This.

I dug a little and most of them had ties back to the Dems then.

As said previously. This was an amnesty period. (this is not directed at you, I'm just quoting you because yours is the latest post in this thread on the subject).

It was intended to allow people to hand in firearms of which the licenses had expired (meaning you are in poo-poo with the po-po) without the police asking questions or instituting criminal procedures against the owner of a firearm whose license had expired- or for being in possession of any illegal firearms foe that matter.

That's why it was amnesty. If your legally licensed firearms had licenses which were up to date and valid you have no use for amnesty.

There was for sure an aspect of fear mongering since even people with valid licenses were handing in their firearms- even though they had absolutely no reason to do so. I guess they were scared of what could possibly happen in the future and then being caught with a firearm that was deemed illegal or something.

Of course this never happened and none of the laws changed or any firearms were declared illegal since the amended FCA of 2000 is still the current legislation regarding firearms. So a bunch of people were taken for a p***, so to speak.

Also, on the topic of what is legal, it is worth repeating that YES, you can in fact license a firearm for self defence and NO these applications don't just automatically get rejected because they are for self defence. That is a lie.


The following is also still true
