War weapons not promoted at trade show, councillors say By Sean Upton Citizen municipal writer The only weapons of war sold at an Ottawa trade show were for the war on wildlife, two Ottawa councillors have concluded. Spurred by peace activists, councillors Diane Holmes and Alex Cullen visited the Canadian Hunting and Shooting Trade Show in February and will report their findings at a committee meeting next Thursday. "It looked to me like only a sporting show," Holmes said Friday. "But I don't think the animals stand much of a chance." The activists feared that the show might be a trading ground for military weapons. Only hunting rifles, accessories and camping gear were on display, said Holmes.

This was the show's fourth stop in Ottawa. The organizers want to hold it here annually and have asked Ottawa council for a 10-year exemption to a bylaw that forbids the sale or display of replica firearms. The bylaw does not prohibit the sale or display of real guns. Some of the exhibitors at the show, which mostly features real guns, do display replicas and the show's organizers have received one-show exemptions to the bylaw for past shows. Holmes said she is willing to grant the 10-year exemption, but would like to add a clause that makes it clear that it is prohibited from becoming a military show.

Cullen saw nothing that would support the fears of peace groups, but saw plenty of high-tech weapons that would disturb animal lovers. "It's clearly not a military show. However, if I were a deer I would fear for genocide." Mayor Jacquelin Holzman did not go to the show but said Friday that she never doubted that it was anything but a sporting guns show. She expects the committee to give the show its 10-year exemption. Rene Roberge, executive director of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (the show's organizer), said he looks forward to coming back to Ottawa every year to hold the show if the exemption is granted.

Ottawa council shouldn't have had any doubt that it is a pure hunting show, said Roberge. "That's what we have said all along," he said. The show is not open to the public, but invites hunting retailers from across the country to attend. The guns on display are from manufacturers around the world. Richard Sanders, co-ordinator of the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade, said in a letter to Holmes that his group would rather that council grant the exemption, on a year-to-year basis so that council could monitor it more closely.

The man fled after a brief struggle with the woman, who suffered a minor knee injury during the altercation. A neighbor chased the man outside the apartment building, but backed off when the man pulled a knife. Police arrested the man a short time later.

He has been charged with three counts of possession of a dangerous weapon, and one count each of carrying a concealed weapon, uttering threats, forcible entry, and criminal harassment. mnJW r- 403 BANK STREET Mon. Tues. 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
