Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto gun dealer Hy Meiteens says proposed gun legislation is boosting his sales. But the ads he has placed in window of his shop to cash in on rush have angered Doug Lawrence of the Shooting Federation of Canada. Above; prospective customers inspect the weapons on sale in Meiteen's store. There is nothing illegal in trying to boost my sales; Meiteen says. Complaints don't bother me. But Lawrence changes that he is being completely irresponsible.
