Thurston County Sheriff's Office holds gun turn-in Saturday
Anyone with unwanted firearms or ammunition can take it to Saturdays gun turn in hosted by the Thurston County Sheriff's Office.
The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the McLane Black Lake Fire Department, 125 Delphi Road N.W. in Olympia, according to a news release.
"Often times, unwanted firearms are not secured properly and can end up in the hands of people who don't know how to use them or shouldn't have them at all," Sheriff John Snaza said in the release.
There were 174 firearms stolen in 106 burglaries in unincorporated Thurston County last year, the release said.
"Those guns are now on the street and unaccounted for," Snaza said.
The firearms turned into the Sheriff's Office will either be traded for credit to the Sheriff's Office with a federally licensed firearms dealer or destroyed at the request of those surrendering the firearm.
The Sheriff's Office will also have prescription medication disposal bins and the Olympia/Thurston County Crime Stoppers will have child identification services.
The Sheriff's Office specialty equipment will also be on display.

I don't understand what sort of "credit" they are giving for the turned in guns. :dunno:
Anyone?
Almost sounds like you get credit towards the purchase of another gun? "traded for credit to the Sheriff's Office with a federally licensed firearms dealer"
Or maybe credit at a store that sells guns? Such as buying fishing gear at a Walmart?
:dunno:

Then again... y'all might want to make some signs saying something like "Pesos for Pistols" or "Turn in guns here" in front of a table with some well dressed 'staff' sitting at it.

Is this happening this Saturday? While there is a gun rally going on? Hmm... did somebody think this up in order to get the "anti gunners" next to the "gunners" in order to create some tension and maybe something dramarific for the news?

I'll have to work on the Sheriff's Gun Turn-In Blind after dinner tonight at Fishstiqs. :chuckle:

Gun Turn-In Blind!! That is exactly what I was thinking. Have somebody that looks official, a little distance from those crazy gun folks, with a bland table, an Obama flyer or 2, and a big mail bin behind them. Make it look official and to some, it will be!
I'll only take 5% of the profits for helping with the idea! :IBCOOL:

One of the guns observed on the evening news was an older high end 22 peepsighted target rifle. Hope it doesn't get cut up! :yike:
I think I heard that unless the person requested the gun be destroyed, they would be traded for firearm credits for the Police Dep. to buy guns and stuff.
