Gifted an expired firearm
Hi gents
my uncle has just given me a colt detective special in .38
white card has lapsed (he has already been to the dfo etc and was told to keep it in the safe)
he does however still have the blue/ID book license
What would the easiest route be for me on this? This will be my BUG gun, the deposit i paid on the astra will now be used to buy a .22 rifle
Thanks in advance

Re: Gifted an expired firearm
awesome thanks gents, he is away until the 4th, will get cracking with his old license soon as he is back
not sure what year model the colt is, but I believe they are very good little revolvers

Re: Gifted an expired firearm
Could be wrong. But the moment you went and changed your green card over to the white one.
The Green one can no longer be used. The green one that still is in effect is only the people who never renewed to white.
Because CFR would have changed your details regarding that you know fall on white license on their system.
Sure you will be able to show at a dealer. But on CFR side pretty sure they see you as on white license.
I went to hand in a 271 yesterday. And asked the DFO regarding renewals.
There was actually an officer there at the time currently doing inspections at all stations regarding those 30 lost firearms.
Any case they said they accept renewals if in time. Before the 90 days.
If your in the 90 days before expiry. They will accept it. But not making promises.
If expired and you missed completely renewal. They will not accept it.
He said they wont come to your house yet to get it. But recommend it being stored by them.
He then also said off course no one yet has done the store by them yet.
As all are waiting to hear the appeal.

Re: Gifted an expired firearm
What is implications of the ruling this year regarding licences not expiring?
As far as I understand it, all licences (white or green are valid regardless of expiry dates etc until SAPS wins the case in a higher court...?
