For anyone not able to drop off guns and ammo on Saturday, any other day of the week is fine at my place.
Just trying to be of assistance! :kiss:

I'm thinking of we pay cash for guns an ammo signs.

I like how the flyer has pictures of Glocks and AR-15/M-16 with grenade launchers. I wonder if they will get any of those? ;D
What happens if someone shows up with a legal to own NFA item (unlikely, but possible) and no one there has a Class 3 FFL? Could one of us buy the gun from the person, and then transport it to the nearest NFA dealer? I'm guessing that you would be illegally in possession of that NFA item, but DAMN it would be a shame to see them give it to the Po-Po for destruction.

i doubt any class 3 show up. im just about potential antiques or rare guns show up.

I wish I was closer to this... I'd love to score some cheapie plinkers but I doubt anything decent shows up.

NO! There will be Glocks and AR-15s. Didn't you see the flier? :laugh:

I am considering it. I will be in town that day, and I don't think I have anything else going on. Will have to clear it with the boss, of course.

I see news reports of these things all the time. I really wonder if they actually have any effect at all (which I doubt) or if they are just a nice feel good event to get the press out. Who comes up with these things?
-
Someone came to one of these a month or so ago, and tried to turn in a rare WWII German gun, and the cops running the booth, turned them away, because they knew the value, upwards of $40,000. They told the people to go sell it to a collector. That was nice of them. It was in the news.
-
i would buy parts of guns and ammo. i'd be very hesitant to buy any guns. who never know what stolen or illegally modified. wonder if any ATF agents would do a sting on us buyers?

Maybe one bit of protection we could implement is requiring that the sellers show a driver's license. We right down their license # and have them sign a bill of sale. If they don't want to do this, then we could just point the way to the police collection location. Seems like if they refuse to do that, then maybe they know the gun is illegal, or it is illegal for them to posses it.
Regarding the guns themselves, I wouldn't expect to find anything too valuable, but if someone comes by with a Ruger 10/22 in reasonable condition and they will take $25 for it compared with the $0 the police are paying, then it is a win-win for everyone.

Maybe do something the weekend before. Doing it the same time as the police version, could cause some interaction with the police. One phone call from the mayor, and everybody goes to jail on some obscure charge, and waits for hours to be bailed out.

Actually, sawed-off shotguns (and rifles) are turned in at these events pretty often, if the pictures of the take from previous "buyback" events are any indication. These amnesty events are great for people trying to get rid of evidence of a crime.

Maybe, but I think the chances of that are slim to none. They don't want the bad publicity of throwing people in jail while partaking in a legal act just for the sake of lashing out. These types of things go on quite often across the country, but usually at gun buy-back programs.
Also, it would be best to do this on the same day because the police get to spend all the money on advertising and all we have to do is buy some poster board and write on it "WE BUY GUNS! Talk to us first".

An unknowing person could get themselves in trouble, so buyer beware. Criminals are often stupid, but if they know they are dumping a gun used in a crime or one that is illegal, then I doubt they would stop to talk to us. Those people are not looking for money. They are looking for the "no questions asked" payoff from the police.

It was on Channel 8 last night.

Actually, in the article I read, the officers went a step further and held in their facility and are helping her find a collector. Stand up LEOs there.

Or are they waiting for the ATF to determine if it is in the NFA registry? It would have had to been registered when it was brought back from the war, or during the '68 amnesty period.

I will go and stand with anyone who wants to wear/hold I buy guns sign's. Anyone?
-
I think it would be fun. Just have a sign saying that you will not buy any known stolen guns or illegally modified firearms.

Would a sign that simply said "I buy LEGAL firearms"?

I agree that it would be fun....and with the above disclaimer it would be a good move to help avoid any possible unpleasantness later.

Yeah, and then some (insert profanity word here) undercover cop comes over and hands you a gun with serial number ground off of it. While you are holding it looking for serial number, you get arrested for being in possession of illegal firearm.
I do have a tinfoil hat, and wear it tightly sometimes. BUT, I would not put anything like the prior scenario past state or local LEO just to prove a point. ESPECIALLY since I think LEO would think you were intentionally trying to make them look bad.

I'm not smarty smart, but isn't that textbook illegal baiting? Wouldn't they have to wait for you to offer money to construct an illegal act? You would more than likely have to be 'in possesion' to see if there is a serial number in the first place.

make sure to get a gathering permit from city to cover , ie tailgate party....

Hmmm...that is a thought. If we are not "gathering" as a group, is this necessary? For example, the people who line O Street to watch the classic cars go up and down the street don't have to have such a permit. Would we be any different if we showed up with our individual intent to buy any useful items?

Well as twisted they can think, be on the safe side, always 1 step ahead of them.
-
I think it would be a good idea to talk to a Attorney,and also find out if you had a sign if you need some kind of city permit. I know that you can buy a gun from somebody but I like the idea of having them sign a bill of sale and getting information off their drivers license. I think the cops are going to be mad as hell at you and will try and stop you ( if they can )
I wish I had a 01FFL and not just a C&R FFL
Here I go walking back to my car with a arm full of guns and some old woman starts yelling ( HE'S got guns call the cops )

I do not agree with everything in this video, an example is open carry, but it is interesting.

for fun i drove by this morning around 11am. i saw a large police van and two guys walking around, but nothing being turned in. i guess the thugs and gangsters are still sleeping...
-
Crud! I completely forgot about this. I knew there was something going on today, but since I didn't put it on my iPhone calendar, it is as if it never happened.

On the news last night they said they got 40 firearms and 10,000 rounds of ammo.

So, how do they decide which cops get which guns and ammo? Is it a seniority thing?

i just saw the 10/11 story about the amnesty.

look at the ammo in spam and ammo cans. it boggles my mind that people turn anything over..... FOR FREE! i would have paid for it. another amnesty is scheduled for the fall.

OMG! Look at that heavy-barrel Ruger .22 pistol starting at 44 seconds in. That's a GREAT gun! If they do destroy these things, what a waste of tax money that is.
This is all potential revenue for the city! They would just do a check to see if they're stolen, then list them on gunbroker.com.

Just remember...every one of those firearms was transferred without a background check

It's ok, the law doesn't apply to law enforcement. Just ask Bellevue's ex-police chief. :-X

Did anyone go to the gun buyback? If so, did anyone get to buy any firearms before the people turned them into the buyback?
