It's not exactly anonymous if they're checking ID's to confirm your city of residence.

This was a copy/paste, and I even cleaned it up a little before posting. That is how bad the original announcement was.

So theyre taking the guns from the buyback and theyre gonna trade them for a Barrett .50 BMG...did I read that correctly?

 

[mpkeelee]

Sounds right. You know HPD needs a 50 for all those wide open spaces

Last few times i took my sig mosquito to the gun buyback they told me it had too much FT-feeds and if I expected a $200 target gift card then the least I could do was polish the feed ramp.

You'd better not sell them all your guns. In that neighborhood you're going to need something to protect you on your way out.

Better carry a couple guns to keep yourself safe with plenty of ammo it doesn't look like the best of neighborhoods.

And it appears if you have a CT license you can open carry!

"Gift Cards will be given out in exchange for working firearms"

So how do they know if the gun works? Do they fire off a couple of rounds just to be sure?
