GOOD NEWS FOR GUN OWNERS

Pretoria, 26 June 2009.
In a judgement handed down in the High Court today, Judge Bill Prinsloo granted the SA Hunters & Game Conservation Association the interim relief applied for in their application which sought: "4.1. A declaratory order that all licences of firearms mentioned in schedule 1 of the Firearms Control Act, 2000 (Act No. 60 of 2000) be valid until such time as the main application in this application is ruled upon. "4.2. That this order shall be an interim order pending the final adjudication of the main application in this matter."

In other words-
ALL LICENCES THAT WERE VALID ON OR BEFORE 30 JUNE 2009 REMAIN VALID UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

We have not yet seen the judgement but understand that SA Hunters' application succeeded because their application made it clear to the judge that the SA Police Service does not have the capacity to promptly deal with the huge number of firearm owners who would technically become criminals on 1 July 2009 when all 'old' licences, permits, authorizations, etc were scheduled to become invalid.

We, and all South African firearm owners, must congratulate the SA Hunters & Game Conservation Association and their legal team for their courage in taking the bull by the horns, exposing the desperate situation at the Central Firearms Registry to the court, and obtaining a stunning victory.

The order is an interim one, so please stay alert for future developments. We will post a more comprehensive analysis of the situation when the judgement has been studied and the next steps in the procedure become known.

It will be interesting to see the directive instructing all police stations on the procedures they must now follow to handle all 'matters arising'.

It is clear that the actions of SAGA in opposing the introduction of the Act in 2004 have finally been vindicated by the same court that refused SAGA's application.

Our thanks once again to SA Hunters/SA Jagters.
