All Africa IPSC Championship
The Zimbabwean city of Bulawayo recently hosted the All Africa IPSC Championship. Instead of deer and coyote silhouette they have zebra and warthogs!
It is sad that only three African countries (Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa) were able to field shooters. Outside of these three countries there are not a lot of legally held guns in Africa.
Libya is said to have a higher number of guns/capita than South Africa but these are all technically illegal or held by security forces. Unless they have passed laws recently saying otherwise, civilian possession of guns is outlawed in Libya although these laws don’t seem to have been enforced since the Libyan revolution.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I was hoping to see a bit more diversity.
Like it good to see what nations let citizens carry guns. Too bad S.A. is trying to ban all guns again. Hope the pro gunner succeed. As for Libya yeah many AKs and FALs where liberated from arsenals Qaddafi had. But the new Islamist Government banned all firearms ownership so they are collecting any private weapons at gunpoint. Sad.
Hope SA wins.
