A difficult topic to address in one short post but one that should be discussed for sure. Children should be safe in school...Just like tourists should be safe whilst walking on the Promenade des anglise in Nice, France instead of getting run over by a truck.
Good post @mattclarke.
Thanks, mate. It's a divisive issue which is being discussed ad nauseum.
Just trying to think up some mechanical solutions.
I don't see much appetite for compromise, sadly.
Yes agreed; With both sides of the argument unwilling to seek common ground it’s unlikely to find a resolution anytime soon. I’d love a few of those thumbprint things around my house. That’d make it easier to access my handguns. Unfortunately I doubt they’d be permitted by SAPOL Firearms Branch here. Besides ammo and gun cannot be stored together. Still, worth talking about as that’s the only way a resolution will be found.
You could have two mounted 50cm apart. One with a full magazine, one with a pistol.
(I'm assuming you have two thumbs. Sorry if you're missing one, and I didn't notice and now it's awkward)
Haha, yes I have two thumbs. :). Having a loaded magazine constitutes a loaded gun here though. It’s a bit dumb.
Wow. Did not know that. They really don't want you prepared to look after yourself, do they?
TheymKe theses rules do that it’s easier to justify taking guns away if the laws are breached. I know a guy who was shoveled by firearms branch and they found 1 shot gun shell in a gun bag which was stored inside the safe with the guns. He lost alll his guns. Took 15 months to get them back.
I got booted from the SAPOL facebook page for posting this.
Yeah, they take things pretty seriously.
So do I.
