| Pistorius knew South African gun safety rules, court told | |  By Siyabonga Sishi PRETORIA (Reuters) - Double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius, on trial for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, was aware of South African firearms and self-defence laws that say you cannot shoot at an intruder unless your life is in danger, a court heard on Monday. Testifying on day 11 of the trial, firearms instructor Sean Rens read out a gun licence test passed by the track athlete, who shot dead Steenkamp through a locked toilet door at his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year. Pistorius answered: "No", Rens, who taught Pistorius gun safety and sold him weapons, told the court. The Paralympic gold medallist, known as the "Blade Runner" on account of his carbon-fibre prostheses, denies the murder charge, saying he shot Steenkamp in a tragic accident after mistaking her, through the door, for a night-time intruder.
