Over 34,000 registered guns in Botswana

Bagali told Mmegi that each registered firearm has a Registration Certificate valid as long as the relative firearm subsists.  “After registration, an Arm Licence is issued and is renewable after every five years.  In terms of the Arms and Ammunition Act Cap 24:04, failure to renew an Arm Licence attracts a fine not exceeding P250,00,”he added.

But, one does not need to re-apply as a new Arm Licence would be issued upon payment of requisite fine alluded to above and licence fee which currently stands at P10,00, said Bagali.
