Got a phone call yesterday from Zimbabwe.
My PH had a client that had JUST brought a 500 S&W through SA to Zim without any problems.

Also today I recieved my Permit from the Minister of Environment and Tourism giving me permission to hunt with a handgun in Zimbabwe.

The Permit cost me 3 Million Dollars.

I thought you retired guys had to watch your money???

is that 3 million zim dollars? I am totally out of touch with the skyrocketing exchange rates thats what around 2.25$US

Must be zim $. Black market excahnge about 100 000 to 1, official about 80 000 to 1. No problem to bring a handgun into SA/ Zim for hunting, not so in Namibia, where they frown on all handguns.
