Why Firearm Competency Is More Than a Legal Box to Tick — It Could Save a Life”
⸻
In South Africa, firearm ownership comes with serious responsibility.
But most people don’t realize that before you can legally own or carry a firearm, there’s a non-negotiable step: firearm competency certification. And it’s not just a technicality—it’s potentially lifesaving.
What Is Firearm Competency?
Firearm competency is a certification that proves you’ve been trained—both practically and legally—to handle a firearm responsibly.
It’s required by law before you can apply for a firearm license through SAPS. That’s right: no competency, no license.
But here’s the truth: competency training isn’t just about passing a test. It’s about preventing tragedies before they happen.
Why Competency Training Matters So Much
• Legal Protection: Knowing the law protects both you and others.
• Skill Under Pressure: In high-stress situations, only trained minds respond well.
• Safer Communities: Trained citizens make South Africa safer, one person at a time.
• Career Access: Whether in private security, tactical response, or bodyguarding—competency is your entry ticket.
