The "Drive & Drop Gun Swap" is happening at two locations so everyone can follow social distancing guidelines due to the pandemic.
Deputies will be at the Falkenburg Road Jail on 520 N. Falkenburg Road. They'll also be set up at the Hillsborough County West Service Unit at 9805 Sheldon Road. Deputies will be accepting firearms between 8 a.m. and noon, rain or shine.

The "Drive & Drop Gun Swap" is anonymous and contact-less. There are no questions asked and no papers to sign. Guns should be unloaded and in the "off" position. You're asked to leave the firearm and any unwanted ammunition on the backseat or in the trunk so a deputy can unload it. You'll be paid $50 per firearm you turn in.

My gun doesn't have an "off" position, guess I'll keep it.

Too bad, I have a throw away nonfunctional POS I have been holding for such an occasion. But $50 won't pay for my gas to drive across the state.

At least they are not giving out a pair of sneakers as trade-in. I guess the looters already got all the sneakers they needed?

I guess I will have to wait for the Libiturds here in Crime Hills to sponsor one.

I saw on BayNews9 that several were stolen firearms.
Cronister (sp?) seemed over joyed when he said the firearms were going to be melted down for rebar.

He'd probably laugh at melting down a 1st gen. SAA.

So this is basically the perfect opportunity for criminals who've used stolen guns in crimes to get rid of them safely with no possibility of prosecution while the police destroy the evidence for them and they get $50 for their efforts too.

Surely there exist some firearms worth less than $50. Might be a good way to flip some guns and buy something nice.
