    Hi John,
    Every firearm requires a license. So yes, if you want another handgun/rifle/shotgun, then you will have to go through the licensing process again, assuming you already have your SAPS competency card.

    Do some reading around the licensing process on the forum, should fill the gaps.

    Hi John

    If you already have competency, then you only need to apply for a new firearm licence, but you will have to do an additional letter stating that you will sell/surender to police(last option) your old firearm once the new licence has been approved. You can ask you local gunshop to perhaps help you with a letter stating that you will hand the firearm in to them so that they perhpas can try and sell it for you, otherwise they can store it while you try and sell it youself.

    Regards
