In this video, Michel and I share some of the biggest lessons we've learned through our own experience of firearm ownership in South Africa. We talk about the things that surprised us, the things we underestimated, what we learned along the way, and what we would have liked someone to explain to us before we became firearm owners. Whether you're currently going through firearm competency and licensing, considering purchasing your first firearm, or you're already a licensed firearm owner in South Africa, hopefully some of our experiences will be useful to you. This isn't about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't own — it's simply an honest discussion about the things we wish we knew when we started. If you're already a firearm owner, we'd love to hear from you: What is ONE thing you wish someone had told you before you became a firearm owner? Leave your answer in the comments — it may help someone who is just starting their journey. Like the video if you enjoyed it. Join the conversation in the comments.
