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:

    There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    What is Africa to me:
    Copper sun or scarlet sea,
    Jungle star or jungle track,
    Strong bronzed men, or regal black
    Women from whose loins I sprang
    When the birds of Eden sang?
    Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
