    Default New Motivation - please review and grade

    Hi everyone

    I'm a little stressed out.
    This is my first self written motivation.

    It is for Section 16: Glock 23 Gen 4 40S&W.
    I already have a Taurus subcompact 40 S&W in processing under Section 15 OSS.
    I'm about to apply for endorsement with NHSA and send them the motivation, however, I wanted to post it here for criticism before I do.

    Let me know what you think / what your thoughts are - Did I miss anything important?

    Below is the Link: Just click 'download' and open the PDF.

    Thanks in advance

    Comprehensive!

    But bear in mind, they mostly are looking for specific things ITO FCA;

    I begin my apps with this:

    "Mr XXXXXXXXXX states under oath:

    I am an adult male, 41 years of age, with ID number XXXXXXXX, residing at XXXXXXXX.

    My contact number is XXXXXXXX.

    I am a natural person see a copy of my ID attached (see annexure “A”.)

    I have competency to possess firearms, (see annexure “B1” [XXXXXXXX] and “B2” [XXXXXXXX] attached.)

    I am a dedicated sport shooter and to this end I submit proof by attaching annexure “C”.

    I hereby apply for a firearm licence in terms of Section 16 of the Firearms Control Act (Act 60 of 2000) for the purpose of dedicated sport shooting. "

    And here's my checklist, if it adds any value:

    1. 2 x ID copies (Annexure B)
    2. 2 x ID photos
    3. SAPS Competency Certs (Annexure C1 C2)
    4. Proof of Residence (Annexure A)
    5. NSA Proof of membership2018-2019 (Annexure D2)
    6. NSA DedicatedSports Confirmation 2020(Annexure D1 + D3)
    7. NSA Shooting Activities (Annexure G)
    8. Licences & XXXXX Club Membership (Annexure F)
    9. NSA Endorsement (Annexure E)
    10. Safe photos x 2 (one with door locked; one showing interior and bolts)(Annexure K1 K2)
    11. Gunsmith Report (Annexure J)
    12. SAPS350 (Annexure I)
    13. SAPS271 from Dealer (Annexure H)

    I might be wrong so please excuse. Is the safe up to spec?
    I thought it had to have 3mm walls, 6mm door, 3 securing bolts, 4/5/6 locking bolts?

    Gunsmith report confirming details like, action type, serial number, caliber.
    Only necessary if the details don't match cfr system.

    Yes, that's the only time I have encountered this, not for an ordinary application.

    FCA:
    16. (1) A firearm in respect of which a licence may be issued in terms of this section is any—
    (a) handgun which is not fully automatic;
    (b) rifle or shotgun which is not fully automatic;
    (c) any semi-automatic shotgun manufactured to fire no more than five shots in succession without having to be reloaded;

    Fool-proof way to determine this and ensure your app fulfills those requirements a)- c) as per FCA, is to get a G/S report stating such.
    Note: I wasn't paying for those reports so it was quick n easy, but apps sailed through nevertheless.
