A real moneymaking opportunity! They are giving out gift cards of up to $750 for old guns. Some people are turning in old guns and then buying new ones to upgrade.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, 24 September, 2024.
Ohioans might just want to hang on to their guns…
Are the gift cards valid for use at the gun shop? ;-P
If they sat on $100,000 worth of gift cards for a year those cards lost $8,000-$9,000 in value to inflation.
Your tax dollars at work.
Columbus run by morons.
I’ll bet there are a lot of guns stolen by perps turned in for $$$ who then just go out and steal another one.
Folks attend those buy back events looking,to buy guns from the people bringing them in, which apparently is perfectly legal, or used to be anyways, but the folks always got shut down by authorities, harrassed, threatened, accused of trespassing etc.
“The city gave a total of $136,600 for those firearms”. I’d sell ONE of my guns for $136,600 and then I’d go buy a bunch more!
It’s not possible to buy back what You never owned in the first place.
Good deal.
The local pawn shop only gives 300 bucks for firearms you want to get rid of by pawning.
Very good deal that is going on to upgrade or get a better gun.
An enterprising person might be able to score.a good deal at the buyback too.
“… These gun buybacks take an incredible amount of officers from our CPD units to come in and help process. It takes lab technicians, the amount of manpower it takes for that period of time is way more than anyone would expect.”
Now why would it take lab technicians to be involved if it’s a no questions asked event?
Also it should not take so long/so much manpower. Drive up, exchange gun and gift card. I’ve done faster dropping off trash at the landfill.
Only the government could complicate such an event.
