SAPS Form 526
We all know that SAPS likes to create millions of forms and boxes to tick. Today I saw a new one ie new to me. It is SAPS 526 and seems to be the application for permission to carry S15 firearms. I presume it is related to the habit of some officers of arresting persons carrying S15 firearms. Until that letter issued to all officers by the Free State Commissioner that Paul Oxley posted, which said, briefly, that a firearm owner is in lawful possession of any firearm for which he has a licence any place any time and therefore commits no offense. It nullifies the difference between S15 and 16. I don't see how SAPS 526 can be interpreted in any other way than SAPS considers it unlawful to carry a S15 firearm notwithstanding the Free State Commissioner's instruction.

Re: SAPS Form 526
I can already hear the chorus warming their pipes:
"SAPS wouldn't have created the form if the law didn't require it", the apologists will proclaim.
Well, quite simply, a form does not impact on an Act. As we were reminded when we claimed that because the forms contemplated renewal of an expired license it was possible to renew an expired license. "The forms DO NOT make law!" we were told!
And that... is all."Always remember to pillage before you burn"
