Posted

The Bristol police department will participate in a gun buy back program to be held on Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Anyone who wishes to dispose of any firearm may bring it to police headquarters where officers trained in handling firearms will accept them with no questions asked.

In return, those disposing of weapons will receive a gift card ranging from $50 to $200 depending on the make and condition of the firearm.

All weapons must be unloaded and transported in the locked trunk of the vehicle. An officer will remove the firearm from the vehicle upon arrival.

For more information on the gun buy back program, please call police headquarters, 253-6900.
