Gun Buy Back in Howard

I like this better

I'm so glad they take ammo. I have thousands of rounds of CCI .22LR I'm going to give them for free.

 

[JMangle]

I'm definitely going to go down there and sell my shotgun that I bought for $40. I'll probably call and see how they will pay people.

And yes, if it is anonymous, I'll just claim I am a HoCo resident.

If it were less risky (as in residents only and may be getting paid in gift cards), I would go to wallyworld and buy two $71 22s to sell them.

I just called and spoke to a officer at the number posted and ask him how they were taking regulated firearms in without doing transfers and background checks, he stated they were not buying firearms they were giving people rewards for turning in unwanted guns.
Using this method, I would offer a reward to anyone who would like to dispose of a weapon, I guess if its not being sold it does not need to be transfered. I will have a trash can for you to deposit them in.

I guess this event will be followed by a book burning.

This type of thing makes me wonder why my taxes are so high... I don't mind paying taxes to pay my fair share of supporting hospitals, emergency services, our military/veterans, etc., but I do mind watching my tax dollars getting thrown out the window... I can see lines of people turning in broken Hi-points and Ravens and laughing all the way to the bank.

Good point. Let's say that someone turns in a regulated firearm to this buy back program and it turns up a year from now in a crime scene. What then?

Let's say that the gov't comes to confiscate my AR15 but I claim to have turned it in? I don't think anyone who understand guns or gun laws had anything to do with this hippie "feel good" program.

 

[JMangle]

I called and they say they will pay in cash.

I could send my Korean fiancee down there to do the deal -- she could pretend that she doesn't speak English. Then even if it isn't 'no questions asked' it will be 'no questions answered.'

Hehehe.

Brilliant!

Wonder how much my Rohm 2-shot .38 derringer is worth. How much they paying for handguns?

I'd like to get a down payment on a Baby Eagle II .40 or a Savage 10FP.

Older people wishing to get rid of their gun. I know my grandfather called county Police to come destroy his old service weapon that he had so I couldn't get ahold of it.

that sucks... what kind of service weapon was it?

I don't remember to be honest. He has just told me a few times before...I was a little tearful when I heard that!

According to the Facebook announcement

The $100 payments will be made from asset forfeiture funds seized in drug investigations.

Looking at google earth, it looks like there is a good sidewalk to stand at the entrance of the Bendix Rd. county facility. Anyone actually going to possibly buy?

 

[Chaos_Being]

I still say this is a waste of tax dollars...regardless of where they say the money is "really" coming from. Anyways, who in their right mind is going to hand in a gun for $100. Certainly not a criminal, unless they're trying to get rid of some evidence. Maybe they'll successfully disarm some little old ladies?

So basically you can build 3 x .22 pipe guns that fit the long gun description(since it is perfectly legal to manufacture long guns for personal use), and turn them all in and make 300 dollars. Turn around and offer 150 to some long guns that people are turning in and you go home with 2 rifles or keep the 300 dollars.

no questions asked right?
