Kobun,
My knowledge of our firearm policy is not only dictated by the Firearm Control Act (FCA) 60 of 2000, but by a lot of calls to the Firearm Control Board, queries at local dealers, police officials, criminal lawyers, and an attorney. And of a few applications, refusals, and an appeal. So in this respect I know what I am talking about .
Keep in mind that technically the FCA is not in force yet, but some aspects of it is already implemented. In some areas the old Firearm Legislation is implemented. And courts give judgement mostly on precedents.
That makes the whole matter extremely complex. For example on one point the lawyers, the attorney and one dealer agreed: Carry and use only the firearm designated as your self defense firearm. If you use your sporting firearm, your self defense firearm must have jammed, or you must prove that you were on your way home from the range. Which becomes difficult on a four day hike .
What I want to say that it is not that clear cut and simple, and it gets really difficult when you try to own and use a second firearm.
