City Of Seattle 2013 Gun Buyback Operation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I’m participating in this gun buyback tomorrow.

Q: How do I transport/bring the gun to the BuyBack location?
A: Please consider that every firearm is loaded and do not attempt to unload the firearm if you are not familiar with the weapon. If you ARE familiar with the weapon, please unload and secure the weapon in the trunk of the vehicle or in a locked container prior to transport.

Upon arrival at the gun buyback location, you will be advised to leave the firearm in your vehicle until contacted by a uniformed Seattle Police Officer.

The Officer will accompany you to your vehicle or locked container, render the firearm safe and direct you to the compensation processing area.

Soooo… there will be a convoy of people unfamiliar with firearms, who have loaded weapons bouncing around in their trunks. I should rent body armor.

We all know that gun buybacks don’t really accomplish much besides making people feel better. But, I get a $100 Amazon gift card for disposing of a crappy old handgun that jams a lot!
