Montgomery, AL (WDNews) – On Saturday, June 29, 2024, starting at 10:00 a.m., Central Alabama CrimeStoppers, in collaboration with the City of Montgomery and the Montgomery Police Department, will host an anonymous Gun Buyback event. The event will take place at Bryant Missionary Baptist Church, located at 3645 Norman Bridge Road.
Citizens turning in firearms can receive cash in return: $50 for any rifle or shotgun, $100 for a functioning handgun, and $200 for an assault or semi-automatic rifle. The aim of this initiative is to provide a safe, anonymous way for community members to dispose of unwanted firearms.
Past participants have included widows who inherited firearms, adults who were given guns by their parents without proper training, and parents looking to prevent guns from falling into their children’s hands. This event helps reduce the number of unused guns in circulation, contributing to a safer community.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to make a positive impact. By participating, they help ensure fewer guns are on the streets, enhancing community safety.
