Enkele vuurwapeneienaars is die afgelope tyd deur polisielede by padblokkades ingelig dat hulle nie vuurwapens wat as sport- of jagwapens geregistreer is aan hulle mag dra nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPolisielede het in vier gevalle waarvan ons weet, ges\u00ea so \u2019n wapen moet in \u2019n drasak of ander houer in die voertuig wees,\u201d s\u00ea dr. Herman Els, voorsitter van die National Hunting and Shooting Association (Natshoot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Els het in reaksie op die voorvalle e-pos aan Natshoot-lede gestuur wat wyd op sosiale media geplaas is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n regsmening aangevra omdat die vuurwapenwet nie s\u00ea hoe so \u2019n vuurwapen vervoer moet word nie,\u201d s\u00ea Els.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natshoot voel die polisie se optrede maak inbreuk op mense se regte en dat \u2019n wapeneienaar wat met \u2019n polisielid terugpraat in \u2019n moeilike situasie kan beland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil ons lede waarsku om nie daaroor in \u2019n emosionele stryery betrokke te raak nie,\u201d s\u00ea Els.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea Jan Publiek ken nie die tegniese aspekte van die vuurwapenwet nie, maar dat daar geen wetlike voorskrifte is wat bepaal hoe \u2019n vuurwapen wat ingevolge art. 15 of 16 van di\u00e9 wet geregis\u00adtreer is, vervoer moet word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vuurwapens wat ingevolge di\u00e9 artikels geregistreer is, word vir sport en jag gebruik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wet onderskei tussen art. 15-vuurwapens, wat per geleentheid vir jag of sport gebruik word, en art. 16-vuurwapens wat deur toegewyde jagters en sportskuts gebruik word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Els s\u00ea niemand se vuurwapen is gekonfiskeer nie en niemand is in hegtenis geneem nie, maar Nat\u00adshoot wil vermy dat daar konflik tussen vuurwapeneienaars en die polisie ontstaan. \u201cOns het ons regspan opdrag gegee om \u2019n brief aan die nasionale polisiekommissaris te skryf om meer duidelikheid oor die polisie se interpretasie van die wet te kry,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natshoot beplan ook om \u2019n regsmening en praktiese riglyne aan sy lede deur te gee sodat daar duidelikheid is oor die vervoer en gebruik van sportwapens wat ook vir selfverdediging gedra word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het nog altyd di\u00e9 kwessie as \u2019n twispunt gesien,\u201d s\u00ea Els.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Juan Kotz\u00e9, Natshoot se regsadviseur, is daar niks in die wet wat \u2019n vuurwapeneienaar verbied om \u2019n geregistreerde sport- of jagwapen ook vir \u2019n ander doel te gebruik of aan sy persoon te dra nie. \u201cDit is nie duidelik waarom di\u00e9 polisielede nie die wet reg ge\u00efnterpreteer het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
