Air Gun Laws - South Africa

South Africa

All air guns not in .22 caliber are very loosely regulated. The only laws concerning them are that they still count as guns if used in crime and can't be fired in public areas. However, all air rifles .22 caliber and up are considered firearms and are subject to licensing. Airguns less than .22 caliber may be carried on one's person concealed or openly, and those over .22 caliber are legal to carry if they are properly licensed.

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or africa:

    History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)
