If you remember all the hulabaloo about the Firearms Acquis - tion Certificate, and rushed out to get one when they became law, then you'd better have a close look at your copy now. All those certificates issued in 1979 are expiring, and you must reapply for a new one if you plan to purchase any more firearms. In order to reapply, you must repeat the original application process, and the cost is still $10. Applications can be obtained from your local O.P.P. office. Some changes are proposed to the existing law, but according -to the -Hon. Bob- Kaplan, Tey are .not •major additions -The -proposed.. r - amendments are-tmeted-at correcting _ad .._ 1 ministrative or other technical- irob`1ern-s which have cropped up since the firearms law was passed in 1977 and are not substantive policy changes, but rather are housekeeping measures. Four major points which deal with American shooters in Canada, corporate Firearms Acquisition Certificates, discre- tionary prohibitions and the removal of am- munition sales permits illustrate the propos- ed amendments and set -the tenor for the changes. American and other non-resident . sport shooters and competitors who bring ' restricted weapons into Canada for use in target shooting or sporting events, approved k by the Chief Provincial Firearms Officer of the province, will be able to obtain a permit to carry for this purpose. Banks, security firms and armored car carriers would benefit from proposed amendments concerning corporate versus • corporate -officer FAC requirements. Presently, an FAC can only be issued to a person, not a business. As a result, firms have been registering weapons in the name • of corporation officers. Proposed amend- nientswould allow corporate FACS to be issued to:these types of businesses instead. Employees would then be able to use weapons registered to the firms: As illustrated in the case of Regina versus William Weyalion, an amendment has been proposed that would give courts the discre- tion to waive a prohibition order if an in- dividual requires firearms for sustenance;' provided the court believes the person is not likely to be a danger,' to himself or others. -Currently, people convicted of an indictable offence involving violence are presently --prohibited--•fro.--possessing-fifearms-and- ammunition.

'i "• • Other amendments contained in the pro- posed changes are designed to more clearly define relevant sections of the Act. For ex- . ample, they would allow a person to recover lost or stolen firearms without having to +++ Zebco has entered 1984 with several new lines which will be of considerable interest to the fisherman. On -top of their list, in my opinion,. is a feature intensive four -model line of rear drag spinning reels bearing the trade mark name of Pro Staff. Pop-off granite spools, steel ball bearings, brass pinion gears, and a right/left retrieve afford anglers the best qualities available in today's spinning reels. The series begins with the PS 10 (TM), a light freshwater reel that holds 270 yds. of 4 No. test line, 190 yds of 6 No., or 130 yds. of 8 No. The PS 10 (TM) is also available' in two- "balanced' con1binatrons: "thee 6510; -which--•• `feattLres�a-5'6_" graphiteeomposite..wedaum action rod, and the 6711 Tackle Tote (TM) combo, which includes a 5' five -piece rod and hard case travel pack. The medium freshwater PS 20 (TM) will hold 310 yds. of 6 No, 200 yds. of 8 No., and 150 yds. of 10 No. Weighing 11.4 oz., the PS 20 (TM).is also offered_with-a 6' graphite com- posite medium action rod in a balanced tackle combination, the model 6520. The PS 40 (TM), the next model in the series, is designed for heavy freshwater/light saltwater needs, and holds 250 yds. of 8 No., 200 yds. of 12 No., 125 yds. of 17 No. The largest model in the series, the PS 50 (TM), has the following capacities: 230 yds. of 12 No. line, 160 yds. of 17 No., or 110 yds. of 20 No. The PS 10 (TM), PS 20 (TM), PS 40 (TM), and PS 50 (TM) arecosmetically-and action -matched with the sixteen models of Pro Staff (TM) rods. Next on the list is the Zebco Signature series of rods developed by specialized fishermen, for specialized jobs. Ken Dumong, project leader for the Great Lakes Lindy -Little Joe fishing, team, and founder of Salmon Unlimited, has introduced two 'Great . Lakes trolling rods into the Zebco Signature Series. In an interview, Dumong stated that "Great Lakes rods are some of the most abused in the world." Part of this punish- ment stems from the fact that most of the rods are used in downriggers, causing a con- stant stress on the blank while fishing. Dumong took these factors into considera- tion when building the Signature Series pro- . toes.'He designed both rods with iden- tical specifications, one for ca trig ISKD `J ' andone for spinning (SKD 2): action r e�•Elass •and are 8' iniength are tEach 23" foam handle with a double locking reel seat is long enough to ensure the rod is held securely in any standard rod holder. All eight ceramic guides are placed at critical points on the blank.
