the region firing range not confirmed as tenant at new vaughan megamall gun range concerns mall neighbours econoramsunstouffvmethbuit1iuisdayaug21999 11 vti- xqmx i6jiijljt 3lcai jlijlc l5javcouitfcii by christopher douris staff writer residents fear a gun range being considered for a vaughan megamall will import the american gun culture into their neighbourhood our main objection is people will be able to walk through the mall with guns said nadia magarelli president of the weston downs ratepayer association once you have your licence you can carry it with a trigger lock she said if theyre bringing their guns to the mall what are they going to do with them for five hours right now its an environment without guns why should we risk that its one thing to have the stores here but we dont want to import the us gun culture here magarelli said she pointed out theres a citywide bylaw pro hibiting the discharge of firearms the only excep tions are for farmers in remote areas to defend live stock and police officers using the firing range at the vaughan station on rutherford road vaughan councillor bernie divona who repre sents the weston downs area explained there appears to be two contradictory laws there is the city- wide ban on discharging firearms but there is also a law which allows firing ranges as ah accessory use to a sporting goods store which sells firearms the residents are concerned because bass pro a potential tenant of the vaughan mills megamall has a firing range attached to at least one of its american stores were at the initial stage of planning the mall divona said bass pro may be coming its prema ture to worry about something until we know for sure in conversation with mall executives last spring divona said he received assurances there would not be a gun range at the vaughan mall in the past the corporate sector has responded favourably to requests from the city divona said he cited the sports authority in thomhill which agreed to remove crossbows and long knives from their stock but its too early to say if a gun range is planned for vaughan mills according to spokesperson susan goyette the main tenants wont be announced until sept 7
