Depends where you are in the country, some get it within 1 month, I usually got it within 90 days. Also depends on the dfo. My wife submitted her competency last week and still haven't received an sms. So her dfo is sleeping
Archaic system, repetitive paperwork and MO. This should be online like renewing a vehicle license. It has been suggested, there is just no political will to implement it.
Yep, wildman is proper. I paid cash for my Canik TP9 SC, got a descent, and they allow me to shoot it, then it goes back to their safe after. Now busy with paperwork Long painful process, but it's better than never.
@jppietersen1765 it's actually mental instability of kids and the government tries to fix the issue by blaming the gun as if it has a mind of its own or by removing kids genitals because some how kids know what they actually want. Mind you, you can't drink till 21 here or get a tattoo till 18. But a kid can get his dick removed without the parents knowing....
Yeah, but the process also varies by state. In Michigan we have to take an 8 hour class and then take the certificate to the county building and submit it. Then wait....and that varies by county. I think mine took about 30 days or so.
it took me 231 days from when i started to the day i had the gun in my hand, but it was worth it. CZ Shadow 2 Compact with a Trijicon RMR HD on it. And Olight Baldr mini for some extra spice.
Glad to see the law is making at as challenging and expensive as possible for law-abiding citizens to protect their families. We wouldn't want to make it too easy for the criminals now, hey..?
Hi. Can you apply for competency and licence at the same time? It is handed in together at SAPS and the process runs concurrently. I could be totally wrong.
1stly, great channel bru, keep up the great work. I have 2 questions: 1. Can I do the 2 certificates and not go buy a gun immediately? Is there an expiration on those 2 certificates? 2. If i ho thru the entire process, including buying my 1st gun, must i go do the entire process again if i want to get a 2nd handgun or do i only do the proficiency and motivation or only the competency and motivation or just 1 of the 3?
Yo dude, so once you apply for the license then you need to have bought the gun because the license is specific to the gun. Once you have your first gun then you don't need to do the proficiency and competency again. Just the license part.
Wildman which province you are I am a security who got three firearms +machine but still waiting for for my 9mm license i like that fire and holster +magazine
Howzit Ryan. Informative video - however I would urge you and others to try and do the firearm app process on your own. All the information about what needs to be on the motivation is avaolable. It is really not that difficult, and competency app does not even require a motivation, just character references. If you can apply some logic, a firearm can cost you little more than the firearm price. And the new CZ PO9C is another optic ready version from CZ.
Differently an awesome give away had to join man! Didn’t hurt that your channel is incredible excellent content hopefully I stand a chance in the next giveaways 🙌🏻
You are allowed 4 firearms as a normal person without having a Dedicated Association status. 1 handgun 1 shotgun 2 hunting/bolt rifles You are allowed 1 hand or 1 shotgun under section 13 for self defense And 3 additional bolt action or shotguns under section 15. But rule of thumb if you can motivate you can licence it. As long as you stay under the limit of 4 firearms.
Sorry im new it .Does your gun license only work for one gun or can i use it for multiple guns that are the same . Or does the competency work for multiple guns
Been living in the UK for 17 years, thinking about moving home to SA. We have almost no right to self defence in this country, and £1000 for a license and firearm seems like a bargain.. Cant even sniff a picture of a handgun here without being arrested.
I applied for license from 2021 till now 2024 D.F.O. only say competency was approved in 2021 But the system is not showing firearm licence in process D.F.O. say it comes from Pretoria i must wait Its almost 4 years now
Taurus G3 TORO Under R10k.. Polish your feeding ramp out of the box.. Also clean the gun before shooting.. Never had any failures to feed yet. Treat your gun well and it will not fail on you...
The brands I went for are the ones that I was certain that there were after sales supplies/parts/holsters, especially for weapon mounted lights. Also, Glock, CZ, S&W and Canik are the top sellers in SA. So I wanted to compare the best apples with the best apples.
When I was researching it a while ago it said age doesnt matter if you can prove why you need it, like you live in a super dangerous area due to criminals or animals, but they might have changed that again and its only 21, I will have to wait 4 or so years before I can get my first gun, a few years ago the age was 18 when I researched it but I dunno when it changed, wish we never had these dumb laws because criminals still get guns as easily as they buy bread but we wait forever. You can look at the self defense guns that shoot steal balls, plastic balls or pepper paintballs (or other self defense projectile launchers), they can get expensive and will not be as affective as a firearm especially if the person is high or something, but atleast its better than nothing.
I don't care about the cost what's to be explained is why it takes years to get your licence issued
You and me both dude

Did my licence in January uptill now haven't received any sms
@@pieterkruger4134apparently they only take applications through to Provincial DFO once a month, so it depends when you drop off.
Wildman has a payment plan. 3,6,12 month options.
That's how my Canik is being sorted
Yep, wildman is proper.
I paid cash for my Canik TP9 SC, got a descent, and they allow me to shoot it, then it goes back to their safe after.
Now busy with paperwork
Long painful process, but it's better than never.
Great articulated show.
Thanks man!!
Love what you are doing in this space. Keep up the good work - both of you!
Thanks so much!!
Saddest reality. How long it takes to legally own a firearm, while a criminal can get a gun like he buys bread.
😂😂in South Africa there has to be money for cooldrink for our SAPS application 😂😂
Don't lie
@koraking959 if you dont know you shouldn't say I'm lying. Do you even know what im talking about?
I don't have to do any of this stuff. I live in the United States. Thank God for Freedom!
@@coreymichels yeah but look at what easily accessible firearms is doing to your country
@jppietersen1765 it's actually mental instability of kids and the government tries to fix the issue by blaming the gun as if it has a mind of its own or by removing kids genitals because some how kids know what they actually want.

You guys have it good over there man!
Yeah, but the process also varies by state. In Michigan we have to take an 8 hour class and then take the certificate to the county building and submit it. Then wait....and that varies by county. I think mine took about 30 days or so.
If you don't want these problems we face be very careful for whom you vote.
Great information and really helpful. Thanks, Ryan.
Thanks dude!
This is really amazing explained everything from start to finish honestly great content
Thanks man!!
Great work and advice as always. Hopefully, i will submit my paperwork before Christmas, then get my CANIK around spring next year.
Nice!
I waited 7 months for my competency and I'm currently on 76 business days for my s13...what's funny is my application is still at the Provincial DFO
Yeeesh
it took me 231 days from when i started to the day i had the gun in my hand, but it was worth it. CZ Shadow 2 Compact with a Trijicon RMR HD on it. And Olight Baldr mini for some extra spice.
A Shadow 2!! Nice!
Congrats Sherwin!
Glad to see the law is making at as challenging and expensive as possible for law-abiding citizens to protect their families.
We wouldn't want to make it too easy for the criminals now, hey..?
Solid question right here
Thanks for the video man. I'm gonna start the process in January.
Anytime man, good luck!!
Thanks Grey Man. Great video👊🏽
Thanks man!
Thanks Ryan,as always great content. I can also vouch for Gun license. They made my journey so much easier...also listen to Ryan😊
Hahaha, thanks man
Clear and well articulated.
You do not need a Red Dot or huge WML. Carry a handheld flashlight.
Gen 3 Glock 19 new costs R9400.
I recently acquired a Canik SFX pro. What an awesome pistol. Next is my Rival.
this was the best competition draw i've ever witnessed
Not to mention the Canik comes with a holster in the box. Wish it was a inside waist band, but atleast you already have a holster with your gun
Well done to Sherwin
I always get my licenses approved within the prescribed 90 working days. No coldrink offered.
Great offer 🎉
Thanks so much!
Such a cool concept for doing a raffle
Yes for a south African it takes years to get and that is if you get it at all
They are being processed rather quickly and reliably now. You're probably looking at 6-8 months.
"We're crazy like that "accent 😂
I just want to look after my family, that's all that matters. The giveaway shouldn't just be anyone but I understand. Hope everyone has a good day.
Hi. Can you apply for competency and licence at the same time? It is handed in together at SAPS and the process runs concurrently. I could be totally wrong.
From what I understand, you need a competency certificate as part of your license application, so you gotta do the comp first.
Correct. Competency application first and only then can you apply for your FA license.

Hey you live in somerset west?
How many guns can you own under section 15 and also are you allowed to own multiple guns for self defence.
You are allowed 4 firearms as a normal person without having a Dedicated Association status.
1 handgun
1 shotgun
2 hunting/bolt rifles
You are allowed 1 hand or 1 shotgun under section 13 for self defense
And 3 additional bolt action or shotguns under section 15.
But rule of thumb if you can motivate you can licence it. As long as you stay under the limit of 4 firearms.
@@TheGhostRider_TV okay thank you
Hi there where can I find the R1100 safe you advised ?
Sorry im new it .Does your gun license only work for one gun or can i use it for multiple guns that are the same . Or does the competency work for multiple guns
@@NathanTillek one license person. Every firearm you own has to have its own license

why the isn't a hipoint?

Can you get a gun at the age of 19...I live alone and would like to get one.
