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:

    Indeed, I believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair part of commerce upon the sea, and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade, that these railroads from St. Louis, touching deep harbors on the gulf, and communicating there with lines of steamships, shall touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    I have a fair amount of faith that women won’t sit back and allow South Africa to become a totally male-dominated new society. The women in South Africa have shown that they are strong, and I think they will make their voices heard.
    Paula Hathorn (b. c. 1962)
