Re: Powder limits
And I [with respect] disagree from you Gleock. The interpretation when reading the above, is on the 'person', be it a he or a she. The person may keep smokeless powder, at his or her premises, that the net mass of which ....
If the "intent" of the act was to limit a premises to 2.5 kilograms, the word "combined" would have been used.
If an inspector pitches at my place, he very well may find 4x tins of powder (2.0 kg's) in my safe, as licensed to my person. If he then goes to my partners safe, he might then find 3x tins in her safe, licensed to her person. Both under the 2.5 kg limit, to the person, Legal.

Re: Powder limits
And another point to consider, that seems to make the limits a bit arbitrary, is that if you hold dedicated status you can actually have an unlimited quantity of propellant on your premises provided it is all decanted into little brass containers each of which has a primer in one end and a projectile in the other end.

Re: Powder limits
Paul,
Pass it on to them if you want- no sweat, even if it gets a bit mangled, the basics are there, hope they can use it if it's sensible!

Re: Powder limits
The new regs for explosives surely need to be approved by many role players of which SAPS may be one. We are being severely compromised by the regs not being put in place and I would think that the bigger organisations should put pressure on government to at least ask for a ruling that in the case of propellants the rules be applied allowing 10kg as legal. Should we not stand together and enforce such a ruling?
