Chicago to offer $100 at annual gun turn-in event

Postby OakRidgeStars » Tue, 19 Jun 2012 18:06:09

I fully expect the back streets and alleys of the windy city to be quiet as a church mouse this weekend. Why don't they call it "Get a $100 bucks for that old broken Hi-Point you found under the crack house" event?.

Brilliant.

From CBS Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) — Using the lure of $100 gift cards, the Chicago Police Department is encouraging people to get guns out of their homes and turn them in this Saturday, during the annual gun turn-in program.

As WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports, the Police Department is partnering with 20 churches..

First Deputy Supt. Alfonza Wysinger says anyone who turns in a real gun will get a $100 gift card. Replicas and BB guns are worth $10.

Man, if I could find a way to mass purchase guns for $50 a piece I would go to Chicago and clean up.

great way to get rid of a gun you used in a criminal undertaking. Chicago :bangin:

That's about dealer price on most of the ring of fire pistols, if I'm not mistaken.

Wonder what they are going to do with those guns that get turned in.

Maybe it will find its way over the boarder, in another Fast and F*&Ked.
