http://www.wafb.com/story/35014612/gas-for-guns-exchange-happening-SaturdayThere will be a gun buyback this weekend in Baton Rogue. Instead of cash or visa cards, participants will be given gas coupons:
- $50 for functional pistol or revolver smaller than 0.380
- $100 for pistols larger 0.380 or larger (does not specify functioning nor revolvers)
- $300 for functioning "Assault Rifle" style rifles in 9mm, 5.56 mm, or 7.62 mm
- any other firearm or ammunition can be donated for destruction, but no gas card will be "awarded"
What I found particularly amusing by this article is that "Donors arriving on foot should place their firearms in a sealed or closed container, such as a bag, backpack or box." So, they are asking people to conceal a firearm (no mention of a CCDW being necessary), to take the firearm to a church, where police are going to be doing the exchange. Is this entrapment?
