At the end of a hunt in Douglas SA,I went to Kimberley Airport for a return flight to Johannasburg on 5/29/08.On arrival at Kimberley airport I was told that no firearms were allowed to be transported on South African Express due to a Firearms Control Act put into effect by the Goverment until further notice!I and others were forced continue our journey home without our guns.Fortunatly a frienf in SA
drove us to the airport and agreed to take the gun home until We could arrange to get it out! I thought this would be a simple matter,but at this date I have been unable to get any help to retrive my rifle.The gun ban was lifted shortly after but South African Airlines nor anyone else is willing to bring the gun out.Our embassy,NRA,PHASA,Safari International all disinterested! Any Ideas! E-Mail me jimmautino@comcast.net

Katte,

Last time I saw you was in Reno...The tme before that was in Brady, Tx...

Welcome to AR..

Mike

Who were you hunting with near Douglas?

You are in good hands with Katte involved. We flew in to Kimberley when we hunted with Katte, and if there is anybody to help with this, it'll be him.

Katte, hello. Sally and I managed the hurricane well, much of Houston not so good. Bob

So what exactly is the situation with this "temporary gun ban"???

Is it something other hunter traveling to or through RSA need to be worried about?

Regards,

Pete
