Re: Man arrested for being in possession of firearms and ammunition
This was already posted elsewhere if I'm not mistaken. Unless there are a lot of 64 year old men in the Eastern Cape going postal lately.
Wonder what "firearms of military grade quality" is supposed to mean? Is this really what qualifies as journalism these days?

They made a correction on Algoa's facebook page.
"Correction from SAPS:
Port Elizabeth police have arrested 46- year old-man following the discovery of firearms and ammunition in its thousands on his smallholding at Van Stadens. (Suspect was not 64 as earlier reported )"

Re: Man arrested for being in possession of firearms and ammunition
I would've thought that if one made the desicion to live on the wrong side of the law,you would be a little more discreet with whom and with what you cause k*k with?
Imho,the said lady should be facing charges too hopefully as up to this point she was pretty much an accomplice... (should it be that these firearms,etc were "illegally held" as suggested)

How do you get to that? Do you know the conditions she was living under? Do you know where the weapons were being stored?
A lot of assumption stated as fact. For a moment I thought you were a journalist! :)
As responsible gun owners, we need to support and applaud these arrests. If you break the law, you do the time. It is better for all of us!

Re: Man arrested for being in possession of firearms and ammunition
Can I ask a question? in the original article they just said firearms and ammo?then also nowhere there is mentioned whether he actually has a licence to posses above said "R4" that could also be a LM4 or the version available to the public? i am just asking. nowhere was any mention of ILLEGAL firearms.perhaps he has collectors status?or DSS?
As mentioned, rubbish reporting really. ANYTHING for a story.
