Re: Competency requirements SAPS
Sigh....unfortunately DFO's tend to have the own interpretations of what is required....where they get this from is anyone's guess.
A simple solution would be to buy a small (relatively cheap) hand gun safe. Mount this and take pictures etc. It will just simplify your life. I did this and I have in fact found that it's also really useful as I can keep my EDC in there and then not have to open my larger rifle safe (where all the fun toys hode) daily!
Which DFO is this....perhaps others in the same area can advise.

Re: Competency requirements SAPS
That should be fine. I am certain you will ensure that you have the correct spec space when you need to apply for a FA license!
Right now it appears that your DFO is manufacturing requirements so quite frankly let him/her raise up the issue of SABS standards/steel thickness etc. I have a sense that his/her own checkbox requires a "safe" and that gets the competency app submitted...this is what you need.
If further "obstacles" are raised then it would probably be appropriate to ask said DFO to point out where in the Act these requirements are.

Re: Competency requirements SAPS
I installed my safe while doing the competency, When applied for Fa Licence they came and checked my safe same day so I was happy it was installed already, but they did ask if I already had a safe installed only then asked to come check it.
Normally they check your safe after your Fa Licence is approved but I guess some DFO's do it differently.
I know two of my friends where they did not even check there safes.

Re: Competency requirements SAPS
I know this was a while back, just wondering if anyone can help.
I have had photos taken already, but I have now seen there is a difference between ID photos and Passport photos.
I always thought these were two names for the same thing.
From what I can see the passport photos are a bit bigger.
The competency form 571 says passport size photos.
Does anyone have experience with this?
