possession and use of fltwarms and other weapons some section of the proposed legislation are in fact directed toward the objective outlined in the explanatory note they would increase the penalty for unauth- orised carrying of a concealed weapon would authorise the courts to deprive a convicted criminal of the right to possess any firearms for periods up to five years and would authorise the commissioner of the royal canadian mounted police to re fuse or revoke a registration permit in the imprests of public safety many people would feel thai the lastmentioeedprovision should be extended to seizure of all firearms in possession of persons having certain types of mental disabilities one excellent feature of the proposed legislation is that it would permit any person re gardless of age torecelve train ing and experience in the use of firearms under the immediate supervision of a person legally qualified to possess the firearms in question this provision for which the canadian wildlife fed eration brief onhrearms legisla tion made a very strong case will be welcomed by all of those organisations and individuals in volved in training young persons is safe responsible use of fire arms uany of the other changespro- posed in section 6 of biu c195 would be much leu welcome some would impose objectionable restrictions on legitimate rec reational use of firearms the threat of

tens of thousands of young persons in those age groups now use firearms under provincial hunting regulations and in pro grams sponsored by the boy scouts and cadet groups some 40000 young persons in these age groups graduate each year from hunter training programs which are approved or conducted by provincial governments must they also in the future apply for federal permits before they can use their firearms since issu ance of their permit to possess requires no demonstration of knowledge or skill relating to firearms tens of thousands of applications for permits to possess would add up to nothing more than a mountain of red tape for the applicants and a gigantic headache for the issuers those who participate in the fast growing sport of competitive handgun shooting would be the people
