    Hmmm...

    That's a gunshop. I wonder if their licence expired?

    I don't. Wouldn't discount it being show boating by SAPS. Dealer with an expired license or something like that. R7 million and the description of what was seized don't tally for me but that could just be what passes for journalism these days.

    Also The Gun Shop, both have the same address, so not sure if it’s the same shop.

    SAPS themselves "lost" 4600 firearms in 3 years. But arresting a gun dealer is easy prey.

    Apparently it was Wildman previously, then changed to The Gun Shop, or something similar.

    It says somewhere that the Hawks reacted to a "tip off". May I guess that the same official who managed to mess up the shop's licence is the one who supplied the "tip off"?
