Not even giving gift cards this time. I guess guns will be cheaper there if your so inclined to go try and purchase some there.

They aren't having one in Frederick, not surprising.

Haha, good idea. I'm sure there are no laws against trying to buy from people if anyone has anything interesting. So long as you don't violate existing law (i.e. if it is a regulated firearm, you have to head to the nearest MSP barracks) I would think you'd be OK. I doubt the cops would like it much though.

If anyone does this, I'd love to hear how it goes.

Wife heard something about a location being canceled??

She missed the "where" part, but I wouldn't be shocked if we heard it was to avoid private sales.

SOOoooo tempting to camp out in the Sun Trust parking lot.........

But, ironically, I'll be at Del Dwyer's event, hangin' out with gun folk and looking to win an AR

Does this violate the stupid transport laws? I dont recall a gun turn in exception.

 

[agstevens05]

2nded. There are plenty of collectors out there.

I was thinking about going to turn them in...it might save me the cost of a front door and my dog's life, when they come to take them from me later.

I'd be more worried about the cops running a sting. Follow the rules and you'll be fine.

Having one here in Washington Co. at Hagerstown Police Dept.

NOT giving anything for Trading in your Firearms. No Gift Cards, No Money or Foods Stamps. Well not getting any of my firearms.

 

[Mr H]

You get the satisfaction of assisting the State in securing the public safety...

[KRONIK27]

Would of like to Hand in some of my Project Rifles that I never finished for some Gift Cards. Not happening now. I'll save them for later projects as I originally intended to.

NOT giving anything for Trading in your Firearms. No Gift Cards, No Money or Foods Stamps. Well not getting any of my firearms.

They will use any guns you did turn in as props to justify taking the rest of your guns on a later date. That's not worth any price to me, JMHO....
