Both agencies will accept unwanted firearms from residents throughout the year, functioning or not. Usually, this occurs when a gun owner dies and no one in his or her family wants to take possession of the weapon.
“Don’t just walk in with the firearm,” said Sgt. Spencer Crum, Sheriff’s Office spokesman. “It’s best for people to leave them in their car and a deputy will come out and help.”
Some firearms acquired by Santa Rosa police are sent to the federal government to be repurposed for military training, Esch said.
But for the guns damaged in the Sonoma County fires, their end will again be fire. Both the Santa Rosa police and the Sheriff’s Office will ship the damaged firearms out of the county to be incinerated.
Sad, all those weapons could have been lost in boating accidents instead.........................
There are a lot of articles on repair of guns damaged in fires.
It’s really a damn shame that every single one of my guns was destroyed in the Sonoma County fires.
(The strangest part is that I’ve never even been to Sonoma County!)
Hold on to those that can’t be repaired until there’s a gun back program with a nice gift certificate.
Move to a State where they don’t give a crap. Live in California, win stupid prizes.
Save it. When there is another feel good gun “buy back” turn it in for cash. That is the only reason an workable gun should be turned in.
But then, that is California.
I haven’t figured out what to do about the loss of my entire collection when the boat sink .
Oh, no. I would wait for a buy-back program....
