Applying For Semi-auto Shotgun

[Jacquesskiet]

Hi All

I've bought a semi-auto shotgun and started getting some of the documents together. I've been told that it's very difficult to successfully apply for a semi-auto license. Would you recommend I get a professional to do the motivation? (I have successfully applied for 3 other firearms previously). Would anyone perhaps be willing to share a motivation for a semi-auto that was successfull?

Worth noting that I'm a SA Hunter and Conservation member and have dedicated sport shooter status with them.

Thanks
Jacques

No more difficult then any other licence, doing it yourself would be fine.

Just licenced a semi-auto shotty, waiting on plastic. Motivation was 1 page typed with the usual docs from shooting association.

"MOTIVATION*FOR A NEW FIREARM LICENCE FOR DEDICATED SPORT SHOOTING*

*

TYPE:*Semi-Automatic Action Shotgun

MAKE:*Franchi

MODEL:*500

CALIBRE:*12-Gauge

SERIAL NUMBER:
*

The purpose of this tube magazine fed, semi-automatic action 12-gauge shotgun is to compete in NHSA In-house Postal Target Shooting Events and the Annual National Postal Target Shooting Competitions’ Shotgun Falling Steel Plate and Gong Shooting Exercises as well as the more traditional Clay Target Shooting Exercises.

This particular shotgun was manufactured in Italy in 1981 by Luigi Franchi S.p.A. The most popular shotgun gauge by far is the 12-gauge and as such ammunition is commonly available and fairly inexpensive. I do not own any shotguns and thus the need for this firearm is self-evident.

*
I have a letter from the NHSA (National Hunting & Shooting Association) endorsing this firearm for the purposes stated.


I am 37 years old and a healthy, stable and a conscientious firearm owner. I am proficient and competent to handle firearms safely and I comply with all statutory requirements to own firearms.


I appreciate your favourable consideration of this application."

That's about all I said regarding the shotty. That took up half a page. First half dealt with my details etc.

Good luck!

Just an update: I've submitted my application for a Beretta A300 in October and got the sms yesterday to tell me that the application was approved. Thanks for the help and advice.
