'A lone skier is more exposed te,„„hazards..„The route should foltOW' recognized trails and skiers should carry a map and a compass and learn to use them.

Many of these people are sports hunters, target shooters or collectomonft others use their guns to hunt or. trap in order to support their families. Generally, they are Canada's responsible gun users.. There is a small but growing group of people in Canada, however, who make criminal use of guns. For example, armed robberies increased 38% from 1974 to 1976. It is this group that the new gun control legislation will deal with throUgh longer, mandatory prison sentences and prohibition powers. The misuse of guns is increasing as well, Last year approximately 300 people Were victims of homicide with a gun. Many in an impulsive moment of violence among family members or friends. New , • court-ordered prohibitions, police search and r seizure powers, and higher gun safety • standards will reduce the needless toll of deaths and injuries. _ ' With the continued support of . "OMR:Hans for gun control„we will reduce the criminal and irresponsible use of guns. In short, we'll be working together to save lives. "I own my own guns. How does the new Gun Control legislation affect' ine?" If you own only hunting rifles and you store them safely. it won't affect you at all. However, certain other guns will be either restricted or prohibited. Basically, all centre-fire semi-automatics with a barrel length of less than 181/2 " are now restricted and must be regis,tered. H,andguris have • been restricted since 1934. Sawed-off rifles and shotguns, guns with silencers and fully automatic weapons, are now prohibited, except those automatics registered to collectors before January 1, 1978. 4' 111 glad you'-re-gettingtougher;-- with criminals using firearms. What happens to them?" Anyone convicted of using a firearm while committing or attempting to commit a criminal offense will be Sent to prison for not less than one year and not more than 14 years. This sentence cannot be suspended. As well, maximum prison sentences for other firearm offences have been doubled. "Is it true that police officers have new, extended search and seizure powers?", . • Yes. Police officers can' now seize' firearms without a search warrant if they consider them hazardous to the immediate safety of any individual. They will then have to justify the grounds for the search to a magistrate. • "I now own a prohibited Weapon. —3'44 What do I do?" • it is against the law to be'in possession of a prohibited weapon. You should contact your local police as soon as possible in order to turn the weapon over to them or to make other arrangements for its disPosal. Failure to do so could result in your being prosecuted. ' "What does safe handling and storage of guns have to do with Gun Control?" Last year in Canada, there were over 120 accidental deaths due to the careless use of firearms. Under the new legislation, gun Owners are responsible for'the safe storage of their weapons. For example, if your gun is used in a criminal action,, you could be charged-with careless storage if such is decided in court. • "My rifle is now on the restricted list. How do I register it?" Contact your local .police immediately and register the gun with them. Failure to do so is punixhable-by a priion sentence of up to five years. "How do you plan on keeping guns out.of the hands of people who aren't able to use them safely?" Through Firearms Acquisition Certificates and the courts' prohibition powers. The provincially administered F. A.C. systern will come into effect January 1, 1979. it 14 designed to prevent unfit and incompetent persons-from acquiring guns. The new prohibition gawer allows the courts to take guns away riOni dangerous persons. NEW SLACKS FOR SPRING AND'NOW...
