So I must save up for two firearms. The July Riots, and then there was a clip on social media (in Vredenburg I think), where an assailant armed with a spade terrorised an elderly couple demanding money, their security gate was nearly broken and he clearly intended to hurt/kill them. A gun would have solve that problem for them and future victims.

But if you allow every police officer "worth his salt" to make such deductions then you end up with a mess. Rather, do things procedurally for the sake of the gun owner. If all is above board, then they won't get into trouble.
A white man killing two black men, followed by an inexperienced black detective investigating... expect the worse.

All it needs is the mothers of these scoundrels to visit the police station canvassing them as angels.

He/She should have asked them to leave then wait for the police to come and remove them. Only the police (a special division that doesn't exist) can remove the trespassers. This is the dumb law being enacted.
Procedure. He'll walk back to his family.

Two is one and one is none...
Its unfortunate but its how we have to live thanks to useless things like Cele and Squirrel who dont care...

Anyone who isnt armed...wake up..
There is no respect for life here...

But if you allow every police officer "worth his salt" to make such deductions then you end up with a mess. How do you even determine every police officer is capable of reading a crime scene like that? Where in the world do all police officers have that ability? Rather, do things procedurally for the sake of the gun owner. If all is above board, then they won't get into trouble.

At least the 2 won't hurt another person. Hope the homeowner gets his guns back soon.
I said investigator, not officer. The officer secures the scene and waits for the investigator.
