Welcome

South Africa’s Firearms Control Act, 2000 has been in force now for a few years. Certain parts of act have been amended but for the visiting hunter the regulations remain the same. As from the 30th June 2009 the Act will be in place in its entirety and will be enforced completely.

There has been a total refurbishment of the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and the SAPS Firearm office has had three different homes this past season but it is now settled in the new section beside Terminal A2 , International Arrivals.

You can download a PDF copy or a Word document of the act.

Please take time to read the Firearms Control Act, 2000 as you will be asked if you are aware of the legal requirements pertaining to the safe handling, storage, transportation and use of firearms in terms of this act and sign your name accordingly.
