Would You Surrender Guns to the Police IF.........

Frogdog
.........they had a "No Questions Asked" buy-back day in your town, offering $100 per gun?

Here's what I'm thinking: I'll raid the "crappy gun box," consiting of two Lorcin .22's, a Bryco .22, & a Raven .25 -- all old, crappy, and all but useless. I'll turn them in, collect a cool $400, and head right to the gun store to pick up that Ruger Blackhawk I've been wanting.

Is that a plan or what? What a trade. The police essentially will be just giving me a free Blackhawk!!

    I'd wait for the truly stupid gun buy-backs that pay a rate for toy guns, as well. Then I'd go to the local dime store and buy every water pistol in sight and turn a 10000% profit per "gun".[:D][8D]

    I don't own a gun I would sell for $100. But, if I did, and they offered, heck yes I would dump some trash for cash.

    Have a Tomcat in my safe - cracked frame - I'd gladly sell for $1.00.

    I don't own any guns worth under $100,
    so no.

    If I got wind of a buyback ahead of time I would try to aquire some POS guns under $100 and turn a profit

    Tomorrow is our gun buy back and I cobbled together seven long guns (two .22's and four single bbl shotguns) and two old Iver Johnson revolvers.
    A buddy who is in law enforcement dropped off a single bbl and a couple of handguns (Iver Johnson auto and a .32 US REVOLVER CO.).
    That's $1100. worth of Wal-Mart gift cards! Already planned to get 4 Goodyear tires and some dog food with it.[}:)][8D]

    Thanx,

    $1100 is a lot of ammo at walmart. Sounds good to me.

    Nice hook. The term "surrender" conjures a vastly different scenerio than willingly selling your junk to raise money for new Ruger.

    I would sell anything that I own if I could turn a profit. So I guess that would be a YES (if I had any guns and had less than a $100 in them)[B)]

    Get in line and see what folks are turning in. I'd think you might find a 1911, a Python, Model 19, who knows what treasure you could get off of some crack head for $125.00.[:D][:D][:D][:D]

    Now keep in mind you'd be running a risk of ending up with a hot gun but then life is full of risks.

    My problem is that I don't have any crappy guns. I got rid of my Lorcin L380 about two years ago.

    Yes. I have one that isn't even usable as a paperweight anymore. If I could get $100 for it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    I've got a few Jennings 22s that I keep for taking to a gun show if/when I have money to buy a pistol - no wait when you turn in a pistol. They aren't hot, I'd ask $5 credit in trade for 'em. Of course, if there was a $100 buy back around here they'd be there, assuming it was for "free to spend" money/cards, not sports tickets or something else equally useless...

    Consider this. Same as above but trade out good parts for bad parts or strip parts down to the receiver and sell crappy/stripped firearm to buy back program and list good parts on Gunbroker and make even more money.

    Went to the buyback. Lots more people than they expected. Lots of junk although a cop told me that before I got there, there were a few gems. I got my $1100 worth of Wally world cards and scored one decent buy-a Colt vest pocket .25 for a hundred cash. Old lady didn't want to wait in the line.[:p][:D]

    The same cop told me they are doing it again in a month and that there were so many guns, the chief had to write a personal check (or maybe a city check) to cover part of the cards. He also said Homeland Security was going to kick in some juice. Anybody heard of HS doing this? I don't really think they need to be sponsoring this type of thing personally.

    Guess I'll start taking the shiite guns in.[;)][:)]

    I've got an H&A top break 32 Safety Police and a coupla incomplete Sedgely Baby Hammerlesses I'd gladly take $100 each for.
    P.S. That US sniper looks like he's using an M49 Observation Telescope. We used them in Korea and I still have mine.
