Can somebody please explain how to make a revolver or a shotgun a prohibited firearm??
"uncovered three prohibited firearms.The two special revolvers and one shotgun were allegedly found at a security company operating in Crosby Johannesburg."

As far as I remember selective or full auto guns plus cannons are considered prohibited. Maybe file off the barrel number, this is the only thing I can think of.

Sounds like the security company has a winning case.

It seems to be more of a licencing problem than actual prohibited firearms. Just the way it is worded,special I imagine would be something like a .38 special, so a few inaccuracies thrown in by sloppy reporting.
You can make it prohibited by letting the licence lapse for example, but again wording in the reporting seems to be problematic.

So what happened to the Julius case?
That case is gone quiet
