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:

    A friend and I flew south with our children. During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car that’s just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    I who have cursed
    The drunken officer of British rule, how choose
    Between this Africa and the English tongue I love?
    Betray them both, or give back what they give?
    How can I face such slaughter and be cool?
    How can I turn from Africa and live?
    Derek Walcott (b. 1930)
