‘Gifts for Guns’ Success
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
The latest “Gifts for Guns” event held this past weekend was a huge success, with 193 guns surrendered. Crescenta Valley Station collected 71 guns, and Marina del Rey Station collected 122 guns during this event.
The “Gifts for Guns” program was developed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2005 to provide a unique opportunity for area residents to safely surrender any firearm, anonymously and without questions, to Sheriff’s personnel in exchange for a $100 gift card for any handgun or rifle, or a $200 gift card for an assault weapon. Last year, the Sheriff’s Department collected more than 3,000 guns, which were later destroyed. To date, this program has been very successful and has already collected 2,588 guns.
The Sheriff’s Department plans to hold a “Gifts for Guns” event at 21 drive-thru locations over the next couple of months. This Friday, May 8, 2009, people can drive through the following locations:
East Los Angeles
100 block of Mednik Avenue (Belvedere Park parking lot), East Los Angeles, California 90022
Industry Station
150 North Hudson Avenue, Industry, California 91715
Lennox
