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 africa, south and/or africa:

    I don’t have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded. I have always organized my life so that I could focus on political work. That’s all I want to do, and that’s all that makes me happy.
    Hettie V., South African white anti-apartheid activist and feminist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 21, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)

    The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.
    C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)

    In Africa I had indeed found a sufficiently frightful kind of loneliness but the isolation of this American ant heap was even more shattering.
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
