FROM THE CHAIRMAN
In hierdie Nuusbrief sal PWAV lede ‘n uitnodiging kry na die Algemene Jaarvergadering wat in Junie 2014
gehou word. Onthou asseblief om u lidmaatskapfooi te betaal en die jaarlikse verklaring van lidmaatskap
te teken en aan die sekretaris te stuur/gee. U is nie ‘n lid in goeie naam bloot omdat u ledegeld opbetaal
is nie. Aangesien dit u vereniging is moet u aan die aktiwiteite, insluitend die jaarvergadering, deelneem.
Ons sien uit na u ondersteuning en deelname.
Die beeld- en radiouitsending van die Oscar Pistorius-saak plaas nie net die Suid-Afrikaanse regspleging
in die kollig nie maar ook wettige vuurwapenbesit. Selde het ons feller aanvalle teen wettige vuurwapenbesit
gekry as tydens hierdie saak. Buitelandse joernaliste het telkens bevraagteken hoe dit moontlik is dat
mense wapens kan en mag besit, aankoop en dra vir selfverdediging en verskeie en selfs groot getalle
wapens mag besit vir ander doeleindes. In meeste van die gevalle was die vrae op onkunde gebaseer,
maar in ander gevalle het selfs plaaslike joernaliste sodanige besit en gebruik bevraagteken. Selde
moes ek soveel keer die bepalings van die lisensiëringsbepalings ingevolge die Wet op die Beheer van
Vuurwapens en die voorvereistes vir die gebruik van geweld in die uitoefening van noodweer
(selfverdediging) verduidelik.
Die feit dat die beskuldigde na bewering na ‘n vermoedelike aanvaller agter ‘n toe deur geskiet het, is
veral beklemtoon. Ek moes ook dikwels verduidelik of dit ‘n verweer is of kan wees indien die beskuldigde
geglo het hy was in lewensgevaar en werklik vir sy lewe gevrees het toe hy na die beweerde aanvallers/
betreders geskiet het. ‘n Ander vraag wat dikwels na vore gekom het hou betrekking met die beweerde
afvuur van ‘n Glock pistool in ‘n restaurant, nie net die strafregtelike aanspreeklikheid van die beskuldigde
nie maar ook van die persoon wat die wapen aan hom oorhandig het. Baie klem is gelê op veiligheidsreëls
en veiligheidsmeganismes, veral diè van ‘n Glock pistool. Die vraag na die beweerde besit van .38
ammunisie in sy brandkas het ook opslae gemaak, veral toe hy in kruisondervraging meld dat hy,
volgens sy regsadviseur, geregtig was om iemand anders se ammunisie in sy besit te mag hê.
The possession of ammunition is therefore the main topic of our discussion.
Section 90 of the Firearms Control Act, No. 60 of 2000 (FCA) provides that “No person may possess
ammunition unless he or she - (a) holds a licence in respect of a firearm capable of discharging that
ammunition; (b) holds a permit (e.g. a private collector’s permit in terms of section 18) to possess
ammunition”.
Section 18(1) reads: “Ammunition which may be possessed in a private collection is any ammunition
approved for collection by an accredited collectors association”. It is clear, therefore, that collectable
ammunition must be approved as such by the accredited collectors’ association, whereupon the Registrar
may issue a permit to collect such. Unless authorized in writing by the Registrar the collector may not
possess more than 200 rounds of ammunition of a particular caliber. Note that for purposes of collectors,
caliber means “a cartridge as described by dimensions and make, mark, model or type”. Therefore, for
example, a collector may possess up to 200 rounds in total of 7x57, 7x64mm and 7mm Remington
Magnum ammunition in his collection, despite the caliber of all to be 7mm. Note further that collectable
ammunition may not be discharged, but they may be traded or exchanged among collectors. For this
reason the list of collectable ammunition must be kept up to date by the collector but need not be carried
with him wherever he goes. The ammunition permit MUST, however, be carried with him whenever he is
in possession of collectable ammunition. At least once a year or when significant changes have taken
place in his collection he must submit an updated list of collectable ammunition to his association. The
ammunition collector bears the onus to inform his association of changes in his collection. The Registrar
needs only to be kept informed of ammunition in excess of 200 rounds.
The amended section 91 places restrictions on the number of cartridges that a licensed firearm owner
may possess. Apart from a dedicated hunter or sports person; a professional hunter; or a person
authorized (on good cause shown) by the Registrar, no person may possess more than 200 cartridges
“for a firearm in respect of which he holds a licence”. These restrictions are also not applicable on
ammunition bought and discharged at an accredited shooting range. Private firearm collectors are
accordingly NOT authorized mero motu to possess more than 200 rounds of ammunition per firearm
for their collectable firearms.
According to section 93 the reloading of ammunition by the “holder of a licence to possess a firearm
for use in his or her firearm”, is not considered manufacturing of ammunition and accordingly not a
crime. This however implies that a person may reload ammunition only for use in firearms for which he
holds a licence. To reload on someone’s behalf (without that person playing a significant role in the
reloading) or to sell any reloaded ammunition to others would constitute unlawful trading in ammunition.
Although the illicit trading in firearms and ammunition is prohibited by section 31(1), subsection (3)
allows that “a person who wishes to sell or donate a firearm, or a muzzle loading firearm, or ammunition
in a collection, to a willing buyer or donee, as the case may be, may do so without the intervention of a
dealer, subject to the provisions relating to possession thereof in the Act, and such conditions as may be
prescribed”. Note that the reference to ammunition above is to ammunition in a collection only. For
this reason, although the seller of a firearm may sell it without the intervention of a dealer, he may not
dispose of ammunition with it excepting through a dealer. Accordingly, ammunition may be sold or
donated to ammunition collectors only and if in access of 200 rounds, authorization has been granted
by the Registrar.
Section 21 allows for the issue by the Registrar of a temporary authorisation to possess a firearm. The
temporary authorisation may be issued “(a) for such period as the Registrar may determine: and
(b) subject to such conditions as may be prescribed and imposed by the Registrar”. Interestingly, the
Registrar has not imposed general conditions regarding the temporary possession under section 21 and
one will therefore have to peruse the temporary authorisation itself for such conditions.
Regulation 24 of the FCA Regulations does prescribe certain regulations but these are not what are
referred to in section 21(1)(a) & (b). Regulations are not made, issued or prescribed by the Registrar
but by the Minister. With regards to ammunition it is worth noting that the holder of a section 21
authorisation may not possess more than 200 cartridges per caliber unless, upon good cause shown,
and for sport shooting only, the Registrar has specified a larger quantify.
Note further that section 21(2) prescribes that “the temporary authorisation will only be valid for the
firearm and period and specific use specified in the temporary authorisation”.
Regulation 27 prescribes that a firearm possessed under a section 21 temporary authorisation may
“only be used - (a) where it is safe to be used and only for a lawful purpose; and (b) in accordance
with the stated purpose of use as reflected in the application that was submitted in respect of the permit
and which must be endorsed on the permit”. Therefore, the three aspects need to be specified on the
permit, but what if they (or some of them) are not? Whatever is specified must be complied with. If, for
instance, the “specific use” is not specified or stated on the permit, one may assume the firearm could
then be used for any lawful purpose. Should the “specific purpose” be specified, it may be used for that
purpose only, however, since common law will probably supersede the statutory provisions, the person
will be allowed to use such firearm in necessity for self-defence.
In addition, regulation 86(6) provides that where a temporary authorisation has been issued in terms
of section 21, the Registrar may impose “such reasonable conditions that are necessary under the
circumstances concerning the safe custody of the firearms and ammunition”.
Regulation 67 is applicable to the provider of storage facilities for the safekeeping of firearms and
ammunition. These storage facilities must comply with the requirements for safes and strong rooms as
set out in SABS Standard 953-1 or 953-2; the service may be provided only to a person who lawfully
possessed such firearm and ammunition; and a licensed dealer or gunsmith may provide such storage facilities.
Regulation 86(1) provides that “when a firearm or muzzle loading firearm is not under the direct
personal and physical control of a holder of a licence, authorisation or permit to possess the firearm or
muzzle loading firearm, the firearm or muzzle loading firearm and its ammunition must be stored in a
safe or strong room that conforms to the prescripts of SABS Standard 953-1 and 953-2, unless otherwise
specifically provided in these regulations”. Failure to comply is criminalized under section 120(8). Note that a contravention of any regulation is deemed to be a contravention of the Act since the latter includes
regulations (section 1(xxxiv).
Regulation 86(4) provides for the possession by a person who holds a licence to possess a firearm or
a competency certificate in respect of a muzzle loading firearm for purposes of storage only of another
person’s lawfully possessed firearm (or muzzle loader) with his written authorisation and which has been
endorsed by the relevant Designated Firearms Officer. Such firearm shall be stored in a prescribed
safe at the place mentioned in the authorisation. Only the person who is licensed (or has a permit or authorisation) to possess the firearm that is to be stored may transport such firearm to and from the place
where it is to be stored. The written authorisation to store the firearm must specify the period of storage;
the reason for such storage; sufficient particulars to identify the competency certificate, licence,
permit or authorisation; sufficient particulars to identify the firearm; as well as the name, identity
number and physical address of the licensee and the person to whom authorisation is granted.
Only the holder of the particular licence to possess the stored firearm or the person to whom authorisation
was granted to store it, may remove it from the safe where it is stored. It is quite obvious that the person
who stores the firearm is not allowed to use it.
Please note that regulation 86(4) does not provide for the safe storage of ammunition accompanying
the firearm that is to be stored. Whether this is an oversight is not known, but it places the licensee (and
especially the visitor who has obtained a section 21 authorisation) in a dilemma. Therefore, if the bearer of a
firearm in terms of a section 21 authorisation has to store the firearm in someone else’s safe (with the
necessary regulation 86(4) authorisation), I propose that the DFO endorses the authorisation that
ammunition must accompany the specified firearm. This will make sense since section 90 authorizes the
licensee of a firearm to possess ammunition for such firearm. Although strictly not allowed it is much safer
than for the person to keep the ammunition with him. Neither the Act nor the regulations provide for the
storage of ammunition only lawfully belonging to someone else.
In terms of regulation 86(11)(b) “any person who may lawfully possess a firearm or ammunition shall
store these in a prescribed safe or strong room, to which s/he shall have at all time exclusive access or
his/her presence shall be a necessary prerequisite for access to the relevant firearm and ammunition
unless (the firearm and ammunition is stored by a dealer or gunsmith or temporarily stored in a safe or
strong room or a lock-away safe, device, apparatus or other instrument for safe custody of a firearm that
conforms to the prescripts of sub-regulation (12) that is under the control of the holder of a licence, permit
or authorisation and the person storing the firearm must in writing notify the relevant DFO. Storage
referred to here is storage provided by institutions that prohibit firearms being brought onto its premises.
This provision may also cover the situation referred to above.
Although a husband and wife may store their separate firearms in the same safe, it will be legal only if
each other’s presence is required to access the firearms. Obviously, two separate safes or a safe with two compartments, each with its own lock will solve the problem.
THE NEW PAAA WEBSITE
The long-awaited new PAAA web-site was officially launched on Jan 28th 2014. All members with an email
address and in good standing were pre-registered and notified by email to simplify the process. Out of a
membership base of 384, 372 IDs were created representing 96,9% of membership. The balance did either
not have an e-mail address or share e-mail addresses and as your e-mail address is your logon ID we
could not create user account for them.
Of these 372 registered members only 65 have yet activated their accounts by logging into www.paaa.co.za
and changing their passwords. Due to the tight security control enforced on the site, only the home page
is visible to the internet search engines. Due to the limited actual content on the home page, the search
engines have very little to index our site on. This explains why a Google search will NOT result in a return
of the PAAA URL. Our members are thus advised to type the entire URL into the command line of their
search engines and then save it as a shortcut for future reference. This is by design to avoid hackers and
unwanted elements from accessing our site. Only activated members can gain access to the content
beyond the landing page and for this you will need to sign in. Remember, your UserName is your
e-mail address on record with the PAAA. Your password was e-mailed to you when the site was
launched. In the event you forgot your password, you can request/reset your password by following
the instructions found by clicking on “Forgot your password?” button on the login page.
In the event of any difficulty with signing on, please do not hesitate to contact Hubert Wentzel
on 082 881 4333 for assistance.
We appeal to our members to activate their accounts and tell us what you think about the site, what
works, what else you would like to be added to our website.
ROLE OF “IN GOOD STANDING” IN CONTINUITY OF MEMBERSHIP
The Firearms Control Act requires people who wish to possess more than 4 firearms to have special
catagories of licenses (dedicated hunters, -sportsmen, private collectors and professional hunters) and
meet stringent requirements. Such people are inter alia required to be members of relevant accredited
associations. Such an association is the Pretoria Arms and Ammunition Association. This is not merely a
club that could be run and dissolved at the whims and whoes of its members – its setting up, management
and accreditation are to a large extent prescribed by law. There are also rather serious consequences to
its members.
Regulation 5, which provides for the accreditation of collectors’ associations, prescribes that the Registrar
(National Commissioner of Police) must be satisfied that the association has a dedicated procedure in place
to evaluate its members for their bona fides to be a private collector in a particular category in respect of
their interest in and knowledge of, the historical, technological, scientific, heritage, educational,
cultural, commemorative, investment, rarity, thematic or artistic value of the firearms and
ammunition in a specific field of interest or theme or both.
It further provides that membership will be allowed as long as the person is in good standing as a
member of the association. The regulations define “person in good standing” as “a person who (a) is and
remains acceptable to an accredited collectors’ association as a collector, and (b) complies with the aims
and objectives of the Act in respect of his/her status as a collector”.
This means that there is a dual responsibility on every member – firstly, to continue being a collector and
secondly, to comply with the aims and objectives of the Act. The former implies that every collector must
have an interest in and knowledge of his firearms bearing the listed collectable attributes, while the latter
implies abiding by the law.
Since it is a requirement for accreditation and therefore, obviously, a requirement for its continued existence,
the association has to have a procedure in place to verify whether its members are in fact in good standing.
Since we have established the bona fides of all our collectors, we currently require them (and ordinary
members) to annually confirm that they still abide by the law. Accordingly, by merely paying your membership
dues, you are NOT regarded as a person in good standing since you MUST sign the declaration on the
membership renewal form and submit it timeously to the secretary.
Soon, once the Constitution has been amended, additional requirements regarding participation in the
Association’s affairs will also take effect. In short, members will have to prove their continual interest in
and knowledge of their collection of firearms and/or ammunition. This could inter alia be done by
participating in the practical and the knowledge of firearms and collecting events, by publishing articles
and making other contributions in newsletters, making presentations, demonstrating skill at arms, helping
with training, doing duties as range officer, etc.
Accordingly, since the PAAA is obliged to report to the CFR all those members who
no longer are in good standing, the return of you signed declaration to the secretary
is compulsory (as is of course, payment of your annual membership fees).
A membership card will only be posted to a member after receipt of payment AND
of the above mentioned signed declaration.

MOTIVERING EN SERTIFISERING VAN VERSAMELBARE WAPENS
Ons het in die Desember 2012 nuusbrief ook breedvoerig hieroor uitgebrei. Lede moet asseblief daarop
let dat alle aansoeke in Engels moet wees sodat die aansoek nie onnodiglik in die adminstratieweproses
vertraag word nie.
Die motivering vir die aansoek om ‘n versamelbare wapen verskil van die vir ‘n wapen vir jag en sport-
doeleiendes. Vir jag en sport moet die SVR oortuig word dat jy die wapen wel nodig het en waarom jou
bestaande wapens nie vir hierdie doel geskik is nie.
Vir ‘n versamelaar is die prentjie heeltemal anders. Eerstens moet jy bewys dat die betrokke wapen binne
jou goedgekeurde belangstellingsveld en tema val. Tweedens moet jy ook bewys dat jou kennis van die
wapen genoegsaam is deur dit aan die hand van die versamelbare eienskappe, uit die voorgeskrewe lys,
wat op jou belangstellingsveld, tema en vuurwapen van toepassing is, omvattend te beskryf. Wees daarvan
bewus dat hierdie versamel eienskappe deur die wet voorgeskryf word en dat die wapen daaraan moet voldoen.
Histories/Historical:
Afhangende van die aard van jou belangstelling, is die volgende van belang:
In sommige gevalle, al bogenoemde.
Tegnologies/Technological:
Die ontwerp, meganika en werking daarvan insluitende enige kenmerkende eienskappe wat dit van ander
onderskei, soos byvoorbeeld eiesoortige aksies of ander unieke aspekte van vuurwapens uit dieselfde era.
Tematies/Thematic:
Die wet bepaal dat elke versamelaars ‘n goedgekeurde tema moet hê waarbinne die wapen “pas”. Net om
die verwarring hieromtrent op te klaar, is die belangstellingsveld die oorhoofse veld waaronder jou temas
inpas. Dus, as jou belangstellingsveld is: “Wapens wat deur die strydende magte tydens die Tweede Wêreld-
oorlog gebruik is” dan sal ‘n tema wees : wapens wat deur die Duitse magte gebruik is” of “wapens wat deur
die Britse of Amerikaanse magte gebruik is”. Hierdie is slegs ter illustrasie want so ‘n belangstellingsveld is
te wyd. Maak seker dat jou tema(s) binne jou belangstellingsveld val. Jy kan trouens meer as een
belangstellingsveld hê. Jy moet dit net kan motiveer.
Wetenskaplik/Scientific:
Alhoewel dit in sommige opsigte soortgelyk is aan ‘Tegnologies/Technological’, kyk ons hier na die
wetenskaplike aspekte soos die verskillende materiale wat in die vervaardigingsproses gebruik is. Hier
geld ook die tipe dryfmiddel wat gebruik is en die oorgang, byvoorbeeld van swartkruit na rookloos, of die
loop getrokke is en of daar ‘n verskil tussen die verskillende ontwerpe is.
Opvoedkundig/Educational:
Opleiding speel ‘n belangrike rol en as die betrokke wapen daarvoor gebruik is, kan dit selfs iets wees soos
‘n uitsnyding wat gelisensieër moet word. Dit mag ook ‘n wapen wees wat vir opvoerings of vir ‘n kykspel
gebruik word.
Kultureel/Cultural:
Kultuur speel ‘n baie belangrike rol veral indien die wapen ‘n rol in die destyds alledaagse lewe van ‘n vorige
eienaar gespeel het. Dit sou insluit wapens wat gedurende die onlangse verlede van die Amerikaanse “Wilde
Weste” en ook ons eie “Die Boer en sy Roer” gebruik is.
Gedenkwaardig/Commemorative:
Baie vervaardigers het oor die jare wapens vervaardig wat as beperkte of spesiale produksies bekend was.
Gewoonlik was dit om een of ander belangrike gebeurtenis in die vervaardiger se geskiedenis te gedenk. As
voorbeeld kan ons aan die Luger P-08 en die Walther PP en PPKs dink wat onlangs vervaardig is. Baie van
hierdie “spesiale” wapens is ook in spesiaal-vervaardigde hout kissies verpak. .
Beleggingswaardig/Investment:
Baie van die vuurwapens het oor die jare in waarde toegeneem, maar hier word spesifiek aan die wapens
met hoë waardes gedink. Dink byvoorbeeld aan Purdey, Greener, Wm Moore ens. Hierdie is wapens wat
weens die hoë gehalte vakmanskap en materiaal wat gebruik is, groot beleggingswaarde het. Soms is die
besluit om ‘n bepaalde wapen te versamel gekoppel aan die verwagting dat dit in die toekoms groot waarde
sal inhou.
Skaarsheid/Rarity:
Wanneer ons van die skaarsheid van ‘n wapen praat beteken dit dat daar slegs ‘n paar vervaardig is, dat
daar slegs ‘n paar van oorgebly het of dat daar slegs ‘n paar die land binnegekom het.
Kunswaardig/Artistic:
Baie wapens is deur meester kunstenaars gegraveer. Hulle is dalk met goud of ander edel materiaal ingelê.
Sommige mag dalk gegraveer wees om die gebruik daarvan in ‘n bepaalde slag te herdenk. Baie sulke
voorbeelde kom uit die Anglo-Boereoorlog. Daar moet hier onderskei word tussen werklike kunswerke en
ander wat op wapens aangebring is wat redelik beskikbaar is.
Erfeniswaardig/Heritage:
Erfeniswaarde is nie noodwendig van toepassing op ‘n vuurwapen wat jy geërf het nie. Hier word eerder
aan die Nasionale erfenis gedink. Dis iets wat aan ‘n besonderse persoon in die geskiedenis behoort het
of aan so ‘n persoon geskenk is. Dit mag ook iets wees wat in een of ander belangrike gebeurtenis/veldslag
gebruik is. Wat van belang is, is die definisie wat deur die “National Heritage Resources Act” aan so ‘n
voorwerp gegee is. Nie al die vuurwapens wat ‘n mate van erfeniswaarde het, kan egter as so-iets
geklassifiseer word nie. Ofskoon ‘n Boere-oorlog Mauser of Martini Henry nouliks van erfeniswaarde van
betekenis is, tensy dit aan een of ander spesifieke persoon / voorval verbind kan word.
Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat bogenoemde kenmerke / eienskappe wat nie op jou wapen van
toepassing is nie, nie gemeld moet word nie. Die beskrywing van die wat wel vantoepassing is, moet kort,
op die punt af en bondig wees en in in jou eie woorde.
As daar niks buitengewoons aan die vuurwapen verbonde is nie, maar dit slegs as ‘n “verteenwoordigende”
voorbeeld versamel word, moet dit duidelik so gestel word.
In die meeste gevalle sal slegs die eerste 3 eienskappe van toepassing wees omdat meeste van ons
versamelings tema-gebaseer is en meestal geskiedkundig of tegnologies van aard is. Indien enige van die
res op jou versamelbare wapen van toepassing is, moet jy die volgend in gedagte hou
Die wet vereis dat die Voorsitter van ‘n Wapenversamelaarsvereniging die volgende ten opsigte van ‘n
versamelbare wapen moet sertifiseer:
Die aansoeker kwalifiseer om die spesifieke vuurwapen / beperkte vuurwapen / verbode
vuurwapen te versamel;
Die spesifieke vuurwapen en die inligting wat deur die aansoeker voorsien is, is geëvalueer;
Die bepaalde vuurwapen wat in die aansoek beskryf word, binne die aansoeker se
goedgekeurde Tema of Belangstellingsveld pas; en
Ten einde eenvormigheid van aansoeke van al die verenigings te verseker, het die “National Arms and
Ammunition Collector’s Confederation of South Africa (NAACCSA)”, in samewerking met die SVR, ‘n
standaard formaat saamgestel, waaraan alle motiverings en sertifiserings van versamel wapens moet
voldoen.
Hierdie standaard formaat is verskeie kere aangepas om foute reg te stel en om vir nuwe vereistes wat
in die Wet en die Regulasies voorkom, voorsiening te maak.
Die jongste PWAV uitgawe van die NAACCSA formaat is pas goedgekeur as PWAV-FRM-015
uitgawe 5 en die gebruik van uitgawe 5 sal vanaf 1 Mei 2014 verpligtend wees. Vanaf daardie
datum sal die Bestuurskomitee geen aansoeke op die verouderde vorms aanvaar nie.
