Horrible for the parents as well, questions will need to be asked as to whether reasonable measures were taken to ensure limited access to the safe.

He was 19, 18 he's legally allowed to drive, vote, join the army and such.

He was 19, 18 he's legally allowed to drive, vote, join the army and such.

But not old enough to legally handle a weapon even in the presence of a licensed firearm holder, that age is 21.

Which is odd if you think of it.

Actually incorrect.

22. Despite anything to the contrary in this Act but subject to section
120(5), any person who is at least 21 years of age and the holder of a licence
to possess a firearm or a competency certificate in respect of a muzzle
loading firearm issued in terms of this Act may allow any other person to
use that firearm or muzzle loading firearm while under his or her immediate
supervision where it is safe to use the firearm or muzzle loading firearm and
for a lawful purpose.’’.

21 yrs old refers to ownership. But even that is a moving target.

How come every topic that involves a firearm ends up attracting loonies from all over ?
Thanks Sollie for clearing some stuff up , we should hire you to explain these things at some sort of DFO meeting because sadly even the police do not know the laws.

Wait, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.
Good thing I'm not under 21, so haven't paid much attention to this... have always just erred on thr side of caution.

Luke was trying to capture the perfect selfie, while holding the weapon and smoking the hubbly bubbly, when the gun went off.

So he pressed the wrong button and got an unexpected flash?

Seems he missed his brain cells, but then by his actions, it seems they were his smallest target.

The key to the safe should be locked up at the nearest SAPS station where they will have it under 24 hr control
When perps decide to break in to steal guns they will have to hold up the SAPS station --perhaps after raping and killing the family and looting the household ...

Is THAT why our local Police Station used to have an ADT sign on their wall? Cause someone might try to break in...

Pity he did not kill himself, so he lives another day to KILL someone else.

 

[Kornhub]

Lol shame, poor oke. Death by selfie... Almost

 

[ProfA]

Gun was locked in safe, key was hidden away. There is no negligence on the parents part.

The teenager clearly has no brain cells.

Not true. The licencsed firearm owner is absolutely negligent in the eyes of the law and will have to account. Nobody is allowed to have access to the safe where the gun is kept. The keys being "hidden" is simply not an acceptable excuse. The answer to that stupid excuse is that the keys should've been on the person of the licensed firearm owner.

One can only hope that this little turd has a better respect for firearms from now on...

Netwerk24 reported that Grade 11 pupil Luke Claassen was at home with his parents when the incident happened. His mother, Lindy, was on the couch on her phone while his father, Deon, had fallen asleep in front of the TV. 19-year-old Luke was in his parent's room listening to music and smoking a hubbly bubbly pipe. He managed to access a safe where his father kept his pistol, after discovering the key, which was hidden away

I guess we know why he is still in grade 11 at the tender age of 19...
