No moneys to be paid for firearms turned in, just a 'warm-fuzzy feeling' that you 'got another gun off the street'.
Has anyone ever thought about or actually gone to one of these buybacks or amnesty days and purchased a firearm from someone before it got to the table? Too much of a chance to take?
NE Bull:
A few of us have talked about it, but no-one willing to take the chance, I think.
It's sad as I hear there are many antique/ heirloom quality firearms let go by widows at these things.
The guns let go at these things are not the type of "9 mil glocks" the thugs are looking for.
I still wish OPD would allow a FFL to offer some cash to the folks, with OPD, of course, secretly running each one to be sure it's not 'hot' or involved in a crime.

Yeah, um, good luck with that. I will give you a brand new box of ammo of your choosing if you can make THAT happen. ;D

I saw that OPD is delaying the next class of 28 recruits from May to August due to cost. It's a shame they destroy so much valuable property rather than auction it off and use the proceeds to do things that will actually help with crime.

The only issue I see with the idea is the NCIC check of the weapon. Otherwise I'd be more than happy to take a day off for some constructive bargaining with prospective "surrendered" property owners.
Anyone know of a way to get such a check done “on the fly” so to speak? Wireless, WAN, something?
