N E 450 No2Handgun to Africa
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.

Karl SMust 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.
