PRESS RELEASE

March 7, 2007 -- Dryden, Ontario

Local gunsmith Bruce Montague will enter arguments in Kenora's Superior Court Monday March 12th to potentially get him off a 10 year prison sentence.

"By challenging the validity of the firearms law itself, I'm asking the court to acknowledge that the law is criminal, not me" says Montague.

Montague and his wife Donna were charged in 2004 for their deliberate refusal to comply with firearms paperwork which they believe to be an unwarranted threat to their freedom, privacy and property.

Calvin Martin QC will be presenting the Montagues' arguments to Justice John Wright.

"After over a decade fighting Bill C-68 at all levels of government, we're excited to present a strong case to strike this expensive, ineffective and contradictory legislation off our books" said Martin.

"This is very costly and personally draining" says Donna Montague. "We really hope the courtroom will be packed with supporters demonstrating the concern of average citizens."

History, news and rationale of the Montagues' court battle is available at www.BruceMontague.ca. For comment, please contact Bruce Montague: (807) 937-2197 or Calvin Martin: (416) 922-5854.

Time and place for the hearing: Superior Court of Ontario, 216 Water Street, Kenora Ontario. Monday, March 12 at 2:00 PM
