WHEN AND HOW TO USE YOUR FIREARM.

I am going to write this in easy, simple English seeing that the law is, even for those who use it on a regular basis, extremely difficult to understand.
When you are the licensed owner of a firearm, and let’s use the example of a firearm for self defense, like a pistol or revolver. You are allowed to carry said firearm on your person, provided that said firearm is: in a holster designed to carry the firearm, a bag (moon-bag) or rucksack. This item must be attached to your body, and you must still be in complete control of the firearm. The firearm must be concealed completely at all times.
In the case of a rifle, the same applies, it must be in a bag designed for it, and you must also be in complete control of it.
When your firearm is not on your person, or under your direct control, it must be kept in a prescribed safe, of which you are the exclusive key holder.
When can someone else be in possession of your firearm? Only for storage purposes may someone else be in possession of your firearm, and then said person must be the holder of a legal license to possess a firearm, not necessarily your firearm. He must then also be in possession of a prescribed letter from you, endorsed by an appointed Firearm Official, bearing consent, dates, names and firearm particulars.
However, if for instance Bill wants to teach Sue how to shoot, she may be in possession of his firearm on the shooting range where he is busy teaching her, provided that he is present and also still in control of the firearm.
Now if for instance Bill is married to Sue and they live under the same roof, then Sue can apply for a license for Bill’s firearm, in other words, they can have a shared firearm license, a license for the same firearm at the same time, which now allows her to handle and use the firearm legally, even when Bill is not present.
Your next question is, “when am I allowed to use my firearm? When am I allowed to shoot a person?”
No matter what people tell you, and this is extremely important, no man has the right to take the life of another, now even more than in the past. Not even a Supreme Court Judge can condemn a human to death anymore. Needless to say, neither can you! So that narrows the field down considerably. You are allowed to use your firearm against another human only, and I stress, only when your life, or the life of another person is in danger. But I am talking here, real danger. A man is standing in front of you, he is armed with, say for instance a knife or firearm, he threatens to kill you, attacks you, or another person, only then are you allowed to shoot at him. Now under those circumstances you are going to be nervous as hell, under enormous stress, scared out of your wits, and kind of pressed for time, so there is no way I can tell you where or how to shoot him, circumstances will predict that. Fact remains, you have the right to defend your life, or the life of another human being, so do it.
Now shooting someone in the back and then claiming that your life was in danger, is going to make your story somewhat difficult to believe. So don’t take chances! If your assailant is twenty meters from you, and he is only armed with a bread knife, can you claim self defense? I cer- tainly don’t think so, neither should you! If he is however armed with a firearm, pointing it at you, or ultimately taking a shot at you or someone else, then you may use your firearm.
To summarize, you may use your firearm to shoot at someone only, and only when your life or the life of another human being is in direct danger. Now keep in mind, it is one thing to imagine shooting someone, or bragging that you will shoot someone if this or that happens, it is however another thing altogether having the death of another human being on your conscience. So I would suggest you give that some careful thought.
If you are uncertain about any of this, you may refer to the Firearm control Act 60 of 2000, if you are able to understand it, that is, or speak to your local, appointed Firearm Official. (Normally the police official at your nearest police station, dealing with firearm licenses.)
One more quick note just for interest sake, according to the act, you are not allowed more than 200 rounds of live ammunition in your possession and if you reload your own cartridges, you are not allowed more than 2400 primers in your possession. (This does not include dedicated hunters or sportsmen.)
I trust that this has been of a little help to you.
Good luck.

Where are your kids?

WHERE IS YOUR KID RIGHT NOW?
Where are the days when kids were well disciplined? Well mannered? Why is the standard at schools so low these days? Why do so many schoolgirls fall pregnant? Why do you see young girls, and I am talking younger than fifteen, hanging around shopping centers with men five years or more older than said girl? Why do so many kids commit suicide? Why are there so many drug related cases?
The other day I had a conversation with a teacher of a well known school in Port Elizabeth. She was depressed, down in the dumps. Her words were, “I cannot handle it anymore Colin, I don’t know what to do anymore.” Her ring got stolen in her classroom, right from under her nose. Even though she is convinced she knows who stole it, because the girl stole from her before, she cannot proof it.
Some of the kids in her class, she says, sometimes get a big fat zero for tests, some refuse to hand in projects, and that after she gave them more than a month extra to complete. She practically begged them to hand the project in, even gave them time in class to complete, just so she can give them at least some marks. They still refused, so they got zero!
She further stated that when she teaches, she basically talks to herself, kids are doing their own thing, talking, joking, making animal noises, etc, etc. The kids that really are interested in improving themselves, have to battle to concentrate on order to learn something. The worst of it, teachers are not allowed to punish anymore, hell they are not even allowed to fail kids anymore! If a kid fails, it is the teacher who is at fault. Not the kid, nor the parent, no the teacher, the teacher who has to help out when kids don’t have anything to eat during the day, or who has to help out when a kid takes an overdose, who has to help when your little girl falls pregnant…..and they do, believe me, on a regular basis.
Now my question is this: what seems to be the main reason for this? Allow me to answer, because I bet you’d hate to answer it, or you’d lie. The problem lies with YOU! The parent. Discipline starts at home, and in these cases discipline is seriously lacking. I hear kids talk to their parents like they are talking to a dog, to be honest I wouldn’t even talk to my dog that way. Have we come to the age where the tail is wagging the dog? Parents want to be in the good books of their children? Kids demand, tell, want and need, regardless….. parents bend over backwards to provide, please and serve, regardless. Now my question again is, why? Where are you as parent going wrong?
How many parents know where their kids are when it gets dark? I see kids walking around in shopping centers, young girls, still wet behind the ears, not even sixteen yet, with young men, in my opinion sexually active already. Why? Did you know that it is a crime for a man to have sexual intercourse with a girl under sixteen? If you know, do you care? Your little girl that you should love, who should love you…..the one you used to breastfeed, the one you used to care for so much, the very one that used to slip into your bed at night when she was little, that used to sit on your lap, telling you how much she loves you. The very one you told stories too. Well mommy/ pappy dearest, she is being violated, even if she doesn’t object right then, the crime is rape, because she cannot give consent, statutory rape! And you know what? You allow it, you allow it by not objecting for her!! By not raising and disciplining her as you should!
Did you know that there is a certain code with kids that go out at night? A colour code, certain colours mean certain things. Now I don’t know what colour means exactly what, but lets say for instance, a girl is open for sexual activity, then she’ll wear a purple top, or if the boy is into drugs, he will wear a yellow top. This way they know just what to expect from certain kids, it is a standing rule with most of the kids, at most of the shopping centres.
Do you really love your child? If you do, why do you allow this to happen? When you had your child Christened, didn’t you take an oath before God that you would teach him or her to walk the straight and the narrow? To bring them up according to what the Bible teaches us? So where did you go wrong? And wrong you did go, for it is your duty as a parent to see that your kids are brought up properly, or you’d have to answer for that wrong doing one day. And answer you will!!
What kind of parent are you? A spineless jellyfish? Are you going to stand by and watch some half-brained bastard harm or violate your kid? Your lame answer? “Yes, but it is against the law to punish my kid.” Listen, if you really care about your kid, and you don’t want to see your kid end up in jail or ultimately in hell, then you will not let other’s standards interfere with yours, nor allow yours to be lowered. My motto is, where there is a law, I obey the law, however, where that law contradicts the Bible, I just naturally obey the Bible. The Bible being the Higher authority in my book!
Has it ever occurred to you that someone would force you to lower your standards just so they would not look so bad? Just a thought....

hijackings

According to Highveld News, Urban legends expert says alarmist warnings and hoax emails can quickly stir panic, even if there's no proof to substantiate them.

A recurring hoax email, which warns motorists to be on the lookout for hijackers who spray pool acid on their victims, is again doing the rounds.

The story goes that the email was initially sent by a Discovery Health employee who fell victim to the crime.

But the company's Marius Smit says the story is a hoax.

Highveld also reports that police in Erasmia, west of Pretoria are hunting for a gang of armed robbers after a spate of hijackings in the area.

At least three vehicles have been pulled over and taken at gunpoint in the last few days.

Police say the modus operandi in at least three of the hijackings in the Erasmia area this week was virtually identical.

It's understood a car would drive past the intended target and indicate to the driver that there was something wrong with one of its wheels. Another vehicle would then pass and also indicate to the driver to pull over and check his tyres.
A friend of mine wrote a story of what happened to her father-in-law yesterday 75-year old man out-wits would-be hijackers
