Re: SAGA Newsflash: Expired Licences
I'm more shocked to see anything from SAGA, to be honest. Have they all dusted off their tweed coats and stowed their pipes to join the fight?

Re: SAGA Newsflash: Expired Licences
Don't get too excited. If by "join the fight" mean provide forms to fill in as you surrender your firearm, then you would be correct. We are on the brink of the April court case starting. I would have expected slightly more aggressive language than a soft capitulation. Then again it is similar behaviour after the Oscar Pistorius debacle that prompted me to stop supporting them.
However, the advice of SAGA to all affected gun owners in the interim, is that if you are placed in a position where you are found in possession of a firearm which White licence has expired, is to co-operate with the SAPS or any other lawful authority if instructed to hand the firearm over, and not to interfere with their duties.
If any gun owner is instructed to hand over a firearm affected by the latest SAPS communique, please note that there is a standard letter available from SAGA which we suggest should be completed and applied at the time of handover of the firearm to the relevant authority. The letter will make it easy for gun owners to insert their own details and those of the gun(s) in question and also formally reserve any rights that you may have as a gun owner.

What a thoroughly unsporting comment, old boy. Just not cricket, you know? Here, have a stack of documents so you can hand in that abhorrent plastic contrivance on your belt. Don't you know that proper guns have smooth bores, polished wood and are properly locked away in a gunroom? None of this "carrying" and "using" nonsense.... tsk tsk.

Re: SAGA Newsflash: Expired Licences
The comments are not really warranted folks. SAGA are there and have done a lot. They just operate differently and yes, they do have challenges.
