On 28 October, 2017, for two hours, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., there was a gun turn in event in York, Pennsylvania. It did not attract many people. It has been reported that 36 guns were turned in.
“I have no use for it and I just wanted to get rid of it,” he said of the Ruger. Plus, he said, he has two grandchildren and figured turning in the gun was the best way to eliminate any chance they could access the pistol.
That handgun was one of 36 guns York City Police collected over a two-hour period Friday night.
There were at least a dozen long guns. I looked at privately owned pictures of the event that are protected by copywrite.
There were about 20 handguns, mostly old revolvers, turned in. At least one Colt revolver and a Smith & Wesson or two were included in the handguns turned in. Their value would have been about $400 to $600 each. A Ruger MKI .22 was turned in. They are worth about $250. One of the guns turned in was a starter pistol. I have been unable to identify any of the long guns, other than a single barreled shotgun and a .22 rifle. Some of the long guns appeared to have broken stocks.
100 gift cards had been purchased from The Villa shoe store. The money came from the York County District Attorney's office. That would be $5,000 dollars.
It seems a little strange to purchase gift cards from only one store. It is the equivalent of giving a store money.

How do they decide which cop gets to keep which guns?
No, moron. A trigger lock and/or a gun safe are the best ways to eliminate any chance they could access the pistol.

It’s who you know.
Captain Obvious is hanging out and drinking coffee here at my place this AM while we get read to go work on a lady's water well in a short while.
He says "take the bet": Someone's brother in law has an interest in the shoe store, and either he or another brother in law will be in charge of liquidating the guns.
And who gets the 64 remaining $50 gift cards...
Or, you could teach the kids about gun safety. They may not run across your guns but there are millions out there that they might.
And who gets the 64 remaining $50 gift cards...
It is not as if these programs are tightly monitored, inventoried, and accounted for...
Now we’re safe.
When you put a lot of rounds down a barrel sometimes both the barrel and receiver will need major refurbishment. Just cheaper, faster and easier to get rid of it and buy a new firearm with a $50 head start from the government.

The captain’s grandkids are going to get lots of shoes for Christmas.
Yes, should be copyright.
Guess Copywrite found himself a second job.
