Greetings - New Member
Hi All
I am new to Gunsite and have had a horrendous application process
I applied in 2004 for a CZ in Pietermaritzburg with SA Gun Exchange in Pmb and the Mtn Rise SAPS (Capt v/d Westhuizen)
I was advised in 2005 that my application was declined and I did not wish to re-apply at the time (DFO told me the WR number needed to be corrected - no documents were given to me). Dfo asked me to re-apply and I told him, it was not worth the time and effort.
I decided in 2015 to apply for a new self defense weapon (married and kids, etc , etc)
To my surprise, the application was declined as it showed that the application done in 2004 was approved in 2012! I had stopped following up as the DFO had told me it was refused.
SA Gun Exchange in Pietermaritzburg closed its business and the office in Pta is not contactable
- I have not collected the license and the new DFO in Pmb has no records of the previous DFO
- PMB Station in Mtn Rise said that I should apply for license to be cancelled and could not assist with records as to location of the firearm (stock transferred or destroyed)
- SA Gun exchange are no longer in operation and I cannot locate anyone to find the firearm
- I have not received the firearm which I paid a deposit on
- I reported this to the Durban Sydenham SAPS DFO (as I am in Dbn now) and applied to cancel the license (submitted affidavit and application to cancel license in May 2016)
- The SAPS system still has this license on my name from may 2016 until May 2017 (1 yr later)
- I contacted the SA Arms and Ammunition Dealership Association for assistance as well
Nightmares!

Hi
I was hoping someone would have information on what happened to SA Gun Exchange and any useful contact details?

Welcome!
I'd apply for a reprint of the approved licence if I were you ... then track them down.

Hi all
Managed to cancel the licence after contacting the CFR.
I have to say that Brigadier Bopape and the CFR enquiry helpdesk were very helpful.
My emails were answered and it took about a month to close.
