When I recieved my Firearms Acquisition Certificate it was my understanding that it included pocession of restricted weapons. Said FAC will expire at the end of this year. Does one have to make application to recieve a PAL or is one's FAC automatically rolled over into a PAL? Too much to hope that the Feds would miss such a golden oppurtunity to further fleece a gun owner of his after tax income? Once I aquire my shiny new PAL - will my restricted weapons be covered under this lisense or must I take the restriced firearms course? ===== Thom & Pat MacMillan Box 1, #9 Whidden Road, Brookfield, NS, B0N 1C0. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 14:08:21 -0600 (CST) From: Edward Hudson Subject: Re: No to Licensing "Robert S.

CUFOA has very carefully decided NEVER to accept licensing. This is our "Line in the Sand". Repeal the Firearms Act - ALL OF IT !!! We readily admit to being "radical" - we want to get back to the "root", the real problem in Canada, the criminal use of firearms, NOT the firearms ownership by sports hunters, shooters, and collectors. CUFOA is not comprised of "gun nuts". Our position is well stated: peaceful, non-violent noncooperation. Nothing "nutty" about a position taken by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. in their opposition to oppression. Yes, the voters of Canada are our "audience". The question we ask them very politely is this: "Do you want me in prison because I absolutely, peacefully, non-violently refused to surrender my Liberty and submit to licensing ?" If so, as Al Muir has publicly stated, "Turn me in". I will NOT resist. We did not choose this fight. This fight was forced upon us by an implacable foe who knows no restraint.

We have taken all courses to hunt and are proud and cautious of what we do. We own our own land, so we may hunt without disturbing others. Today started off like any other turkey hunt. We arose at 4 a.m. and assumed our posts shortly thereafter. How lovely it was to watch the squirrels frolic and the birds wake, the sun peaking its head over the horizon. My husband gives his chirp, to call in the gobbler. I am the marksman today. He lays in the forest 30 metres from my blind. Chirp, chirp - he calls again. The distance offers up a gobble, two gobbles and another. He chirps again. We are a team. Him and I. We have a lovely life. We are hunting buddies. We are also so very proud of each other that we each respect our hunting licences and what we do with them. We do not abuse this privilege. We don't hunt out of season, or poach, or kill for the sheer enjoyment. Today we will (rather, I will) bag a gobbler. We will keep it for our next family gathering. Two and a half hours pass since we arrived in the bush. My husband is still calling to attract a gobbler. I can't see it, but later he tells me (later, after the gunshot of another hunter shatters our ears) that the gobblers were walking towards me. The cunning hunter lay in the bush, knowing that we were there, waiting to steal our property. Knowing that it was our bird, he shot and took it for himself. He may even have been on, or shot that bird on, our property. He was gone too fast for us to know. I don't think he even realized that my husband was laying on the ground a few feet from him. If he knew, would he have still fired that gun? Was the gift of a turkey more important that my husband's life? Mr. Faceless, cunning, sly hunter, did you not attend the hunter-safety course, or the wild-turkey course? If you did, you would learn not to shoot towards others. Did you know that I was across from that turkey in a blind? Did you care that you could have killed more than the bird? When my husband and I went to the end of our property to see who or what this person was doing, he was gone. Most of us (hunters) are proud of what we do, but not him. He disappeared into the forest. It is no wonder that some people have a negative attitude regarding hunters and hunting. I am, and remain, an honest and safe hunter. Too bad we all aren't.

Clearly the stench from the registry is getting out of hand. The only ones who will be left wanting this mess will be the Liberals and the RoyalCanadianLiberalPolice who were renamed from the old RCMP. Many fine Canadian traditions have fallen under the Liberals, and they are just one of many. Sad, very sad. No one wants billion dollar laws to solve an imagined gun problem, when all the RCLP and their political masters had to do was to enforce existing laws. But whats a billion dollars right!!...ok i know ya could buy more MRI machines with it, or more helicopters for the military, or give more to the Police, or breast cancer research or Aids research.

Offered through the National Wild Turkey Federation, the program's goal is to educate women about rugged outdoor sports. Pointing a crossbow is second nature to Michele Bilyk. And she also loves waking up before dawn to join her boyfriend on a turkey hunt. "It's great to be there when the forest wakes up," said Bilyk. And she almost doesn't mind that she hasn't been able to shoot one yet. Sheryl Rance enjoys heading out for a full day of fishing, and she can beat her husband at target practice with a rifle. Rance and Bilyk give a new meaning to camoflage clothing, and they want to share their passion of the outdoors with other women. Both women are involved with men who love the outdoors, and have always participated in helping them with their sports. Now it's their turn. They are organizing a special day in June to teach other women about the outdoors. Rance heard about a program called Women in the Outdoors, and she wanted to learn more. The program is offered through the National Wild Turkey Federation, and it's goal is to educate women about hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and other rugged outdoor sports. "It sounded really cool, so I figured why not do it here?" Members of the Huronia Wild Turkey chapter loved the idea, and have agreed to sponsor an event where women learn about outdoor activities they may not have experienced as a child. "There are several different activities to choose from, and it's a full day of lessons." All-terrain vehicle safety, three-dimensional archery, canoeing, introduction to handgun shooting, kayaking, fishing techniques, map and compass lessons, hiking and birdwatching, turkey calling and feather craft are all options to choose. "We are using mostly local experts, and everyone has just jumped on board with this." The event is on June 14, from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Continental breakfast, a lunch and chicken dinner are included in the $75 cost. Rance said women may have tried some of the different activities before, but she wants them to sign up for something new. "The idea is to try something different. If you really like canoeing, you should try (something) you've never done before." Each lesson lasts for two hours, and the groups are going to be small enough that everyone will have personal time with the instructor. "This is all for women, so there should be no intimidaton. It's non-threatening," said Bilyk. Bilyk has helped organize the event, and has received several donations of prizes for the silent auction and raffle. Bilyk encourages all women to give it a try, because she used to be wary of outdoor activities. "I am originally from Toronto, and it wasn't until I met my partner that I got involved." She said she took a course in firearm safety, and she was hooked. "I now fish and do a bit of hunting, although I call it 'live release' because I haven't killed any yet," said Bilyk, with a laugh. The goal for the program is to teach the importance of wildlife management, and provide a network for women, as well as train women to become outdoor educators. There is a silent auction, and each participant will leave the event with a small bag of goodies.

Teran Richards, 22, shot four times - and survived - playing pickup basketball in the gymnasium at Pine Ridge High School April 3, 2001. A 17-year-old boy charged with firing a sawed-off rifle in the lobby at Pickering High School, missing a crowd of students Jan. 11, 2002. A 15-year-old Bowmanville boy, days later, arrested with a semi-automatic handgun. A 24-year-old shot in the leg and hand leaving an Oshawa tavern in March, 2002; a 25-year-old shot in the leg outside a Pickering pub in May of that year. The list goes on and on. "Alarming" is how police describe increasing gunplay in Durham, a once sleepy suburban haven from city violence to which so many moved to escape. "It used to be incidents involving guns were few and far between," says Detective Stan Pinkney, a 23-year Durham Regional Police veteran. "Not any more." On loan to the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit (PWEU) since April 2002, the former long-time robbery squad detective has seen a steady stream of gunfire and gun seizures in Durham during the past year. As Durham's lone representative on the weapons squad, which specializes in gun-smuggling and trafficking investigations, Det. Pinkney also is tasked with retracing the history of all illegal guns recovered by police in the region. Approximately 100 firearms seized as a result of criminal investigations - ranging from traffic stops, drug probes, break-and-enters and shootings - have passed through his hands during the past year. "There's been a huge increase in gun-related crime. It's troubling, alarming as far as public and officer safety is concerned. My eyes have been opened a lot. It's been a steady flow (of gun-related incidents)," he says. Gunpoint robberies, shootings and other crimes involving firearms are more and more common in Durham, occurring almost daily. "We've been very fortunate" more people haven't been killed, says Det. Pinkney, referring to several shootings in the past year that were not fatal. Although police don't formally keep a record of gun-related charges as part of the force's annual statistics, the number of total weapons offences in the region in 2002 increased 24.7 per cent to 797, compared to 639 in 2001. More and more, it seems, everyone carries "a little piece of security," says Det. Pinkney. For the criminal on the street, a gun means status and protection, he says. "There are a lot of handguns out there. It is a status symbol especially in the drug culture. It seems drug dealers nowadays all arm themselves. Because of the type of business, they need to be armed accordingly," he says. "They need a gun for enforcement, as well as their own safety." While the level of gun violence in Durham doesn't come close to Toronto, a Toronto gun task force on the hunt for illegal firearms has led officers to Durham on several occasions in recent months. In December the T.O. task force raided a Prince of Wales Drive home in Whitby, seizing a loaded AK-47 assault, rifle hidden in a ceiling, and a handgun. A 22-year-old Whitby man, under a court order prohibiting him from possessing firearms, was arrested. A Pickering address was later searched. "It shows you the kind of firepower out there," Detective Sergeant Bill Sornberger, of 42 Division in Scarborough, says of the AK-47 assault rifle. "We're having the same problems as Toronto, obviously not to the same extent. But if viewed in perspective of our population compared to Toronto's, I don't think our numbers are any lower per capita," Det. Pinkney says. Other major incidents over the past year include: • A 27-year-old Oshawa man shot in the shoulder last July on Varcoe Road in Courtice after what police called "a dispute over a girl." "They took it outside and the guns came out," Sergeant Paul Malik said at the time of the two alleged gunmen. • A 17-year-old Bowmanville teen charged in August after police recovered several firearms, including a loaded shotgun found in his bedroom. The weapons were reported stolen during an earlier residential break-in. • A 19-year-old man arrested outside a south Oshawa high school in October in possession of an unloaded nine-millimetre handgun. • A 29-year-old man shot in the leg in November while sitting behind the wheel of his car at a townhouse complex in south Oshawa. • A car is sprayed with bullets as two men pull away from a Pickering house in December: "If I were those guys I'd be buying a Lotto 649 ticket - make that a Super Seven ticket. They were that lucky," one detective said at the time. • Two loaded handguns and $5,000 worth of crack seized by police during a "high-risk" takedown in Oshawa, also in December. • Five men arrested and a double-barrelled sawed-off shotgun recently seized from a car in Pickering. • Four guns and $16,000 worth of crack seized this past March at a Whitby motel, including two loaded 22-calibre handguns, a 357-revolver and a sawed-off shotgun along with hollow-point bullets. Most of the guns that wind up on the street were legally owned at one time, says Det. Pinkney, adding a lot of the firearms police seized from criminals were stolen from homes during previous break-and-enters. Some gun traffickers actually specialize in "steal to order," he says. "They have buyers in place and know what (type of weapons) they want. Their main purpose is to go out and steal guns only," he says. Firearms fetch between $500 and $1,500 on the black market, with an obliterated serial number - making a gun harder to trace - raising the price. "Some guns are smuggled in from the U.S. and a lot are stolen during B and E's, it's a pot-pourri," says Det. Pinkney, who estimates 100 to 150 firearms are stolen during break-and-enters each year in the region. In one recent case, the detective recalls, a teenaged girl had taken several guns from her grandfather's safe and given them to her boyfriend, who was "selling them on the street" before he was arrested in north Oshawa. "He was selling to anyone who would buy them. We recovered one, but three were never recovered. As far as I know they are still out there somewhere." During an interview in a Courtice coffee shop, he wonders, "How long will it take" before the guns turn up in some shooting, robbery or drug bust? In another case, an Ajax man was among several charged after a probe revealed handgun parts were stolen from a manufacturer, assembled and sold. Canada and U.S. authorities recovered 95 handguns along with 14 rifles and shotguns. Some of the guns had been stripped of their serial numbers "making them attractive" crime guns, OPP Det. Insp. Ross Bingley says. Handguns ranging from 9-millimetre to 45-calibre semi-automatics were sold on average for $1,100 or $1,200, he says. "It's big business. They are in it for the money and they don't care who ends up with the guns. They (guns) were destined for criminal hands." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 16:54:24 -0600 (CST) From: Bruce Mills Subject: Gunpoint arrest made http://www.mykawartha.com/ka/news/peterborough/story/1117675p-1332997c.html >From MyKawartha.com Gunpoint arrest made Jun 6, 2003 A city man was arrested at gunpoint Wednesday night after a Kawartha Carpet Care employee pointed a handgun at the store's owner.

He did not seek it. He did not ask for it. But a well-groomed youngish man, likely in his 30s with a carefully trimmed mustache, propelled him there more than a week ago just the same. Straight from the neat, rural home he built himself in the 1960s and into the headlines of area newspapers. The ordeal began early last Thursday morning as the wiry, tough-as-nails Nispel slept. At about 2:15 a.m., he was awakened by the barking of his small, long-haired dachshund, Rusty, whom Nispel refers to as often as not as "my little dog." Though Rusty had been known to be a little vocal in the wee hours before, this time the alarm didn't flag. Wondering if there was reason to be alarmed himself, Nispel, 76, hopped out of bed, stopping long enough to pull on a pair of pants and reach for a .25 calibre Colt automatic in a drawer near the bed before venturing into the hallway. "I thought I'd better get up and find out what he's barking at," he recalled. >From his bedroom door he saw the living room lights were burning and wondered why. At first he thought maybe a relative had arrived and let themselves in. A nice surprise visit. Instead "this guy came from behind me and hit me on the head, put a knife to my throat and told me to get down on my knees," charged Nispel. A week later, he bears stitches in one ear from the slashing of that knife along with a grape-sized deep purple-black bruise near his temple. The intruder asked Nispel "where's the gun?" But even with the business end of a knife at his jugular, the weight of a much younger man behind him and forced to his knees, he wasn't ready to give in yet. He reached for the gun in his pants pocket. "I managed to get a hold on the little gun and he saw what I was doing," recalled Nispel. They began to struggle. "He didn't want to let go of the knife, so he was using one hand. But a Colt is pretty small. You can really clamp your hand down on it." In time, though, the younger man's brute strength got the better of Nispel. He lost the gun. "Then I was getting a little scared," he admitted. Disarmed, he was tossed on to his bed while the intruder began hurriedly rifling through drawers. Still with vinegar to spare, Nispel says he got up and clocked the intruder in the side of the head with his fist. It had little impact and in the struggle that ensued, Nispel was shot in the upper leg, near the groin. "I think that scared him a bit," said Nispel, gesturing to the bed and noting idly, "I still have blood on my comforter there." The culprit had asked Nispel for his .38 calibre Smith and Wesson, which was stored and locked away in a bedroom safe. Nispel told him so and the man ordered him to open the safe and get it. Nispel tried, encountering difficulties because his glasses were twisted and bent - one lens had even popped out in the struggle. When he finally managed the combination, the invader had left the bedroom. Seeing his chance, Nispel fumbled for the ammunition, hoping to load it and use it against the culprit. But when he emerged from the bedroom, he found the house empty and his car - along with his wallet - gone. "I think he ran into a little more trouble than he expected," said Nispel. "I think when he knew I was shot, it freaked him out a little bit." The car was found in no time, ditched about 2 kms away in nearby Sheffield. Police towed it to look for clues and returned it to the long-time Troy resident earlier this week. The suspect, described as a white male, 30-40, 5-foot-10 with a chunky build and a mustache, is still at large. Anyone seeing him is to consider him armed and dangerous and call police immediately at 911 or 905-546-3822. Left alone, Nispel dialed 911. When the operator asked him if he wanted police or ambulance, he automatically responded "police," forgetting he had been shot. In time, the emergency personnel came, though not as fast as Nispel would have liked. At one point, handfuls of them, fire, police and paramedics, all milled about his living room. He was taken to the hospital and asked to remain overnight for observation, though he pestered staff enough to go home that he was released a little early. "They didn't take the bullet out," said Nispel. "I hope it doesn't set off anything in the airport if I fly anywhere." He feels the invader must have known about his weapons and come out specifically for them, something police are also inclined to believe. Targeted "Somebody at some time or another must have seen what I had and told someone else," he surmised. "How many people really knew the calibre of the guns?" Nispel said he is not too shaken by the event and appeared as upset at the persistent lack of spring sun and the slow progress of the garden as being awakened by a thug in a black leather jacket and blue jeans at 2 a.m. "He didn't look like someone who would be doing what he did," recalled Nispel. Rusty, who stayed around the fracas until the gunshot rang out, appears none the worse for wear for his ordeal, scampering around Nispel, tail wagging. And Nispel is no stranger to tragedy. He got a taste of it during the two years he served in the Second World War, finally being ousted when it was discovered he was underage. He also served in the Korean War, emerging wounded, having spent months in a Japanese convalescence facility. About eight years ago, his wife of 42 years, Betty, died. She is buried in the nearby Troy cemetery and pictures of her fresh beauty fill the house. And less than two years ago, his son died suddenly. Complaining to his wife that he felt unwell, he went to get changed to go to a doctor's office and collapsed. He never woke up again. Unwanted attention Though there are few septuagenarians who wrestle with armed intruders and emerge barely scathed, Nispel is baffled by the attention his ordeal has garnered and would much rather do without it. He only began speaking to the media to set the story straight. One outlet, for example, had reported that he raised two daughters and a son on his property. But he has three daughters "and I don't like to lose one just like that," grumbled Nispel. But he declined a photograph, saying "If I was good-looking, it might be different. I don't like the look of me now." And he is angry that the police have taken his guns. Though they had been registered decades ago, he had not renewed them under newer regulations. "They're on file with the Federal government," he said. "They know who I am. They know where I live. All the crooks are running around with handguns in their pocket and they can't find them." Near normal Though police have seized his guns, they will help him register properly in order to give them back. Charges in the matter are not expected, according to Hamilton Police Services. Life is returning to normal for Nispel. But he wants the man who broke into his home and splashed his life over the pages of newspapers to be caught. "I worked hard all my life," said Nispel. "I don't like someone trying to take something from me." Then he walked away, Rusty following at his heels, to tend to the yard that he has been working on for four decades now, and counting. ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V6 #138 ********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:akimoya@cogeco.ca List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca FAQ list: http://www.magma.ca/~asd/cfd-faq1.html and http://teapot.usask.ca/cdn-firearms/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://teapot.usask.ca/cdn-firearms/homepage.html FTP Site: ftp://teapot.usask.ca/pub/cdn-firearms/ CFDigest Archives: http://www.sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca/~ab133/ or put the next command in an e-mail message and mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca get cdn-firearms-digest v04.n192 end (192 is the digest issue number and 04 is the volume) To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next five lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-alert unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
