We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Did anyone manage to purchase any these turned in guns
as I read that people were being directed to gun shops ...so guess there was some good business opportunities to purchase guns at a great price through PPT at the gun stores. Why don't we organise our own gun buy back program rather than have LAPD do it as they are so overworked and undermanned to police these gun buy backs surely :banana:

Could tell they were on the defensive when trying to ask questions. They wouldn't answer much, saying I should direct my questions to their sargeant but then not letting me enter the event to speak with her.

So the "event" was private ? Thats why I didnt go into that property and film when I wanted to turn in my gun. I knew they would claim some "private property" thing and bust me.

Well it wasn't actually private property, if I'm correct. It's a park-and-ride lot for public transit, so I'm not 100% sure what category that falls in, but seems public to me. But you're right in that, often if there's no actual law with which they can bust you, they simply make one up on the spot.

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but I absolutely love the idea of a locked case
with only a copy of the 4A in it, esp. if officers steal & open it... & it's on hidden camera.
Would work other places than these disarmament fairs, too.

Oh don't worry, there will be others. Usually at least 2 a year for this area.

I can't help but suspect that the "anti-tank rocket launcher" was probably an SKS with the old (now banned in CA) muzzle attachment. After all, they do tend to stretch the truth quite a bit when touting the efficacy of these "buybacks". Before you know it, Al Qaeda will be (supposedly) turning in nukes to the LAPD and Mayor Vivalaraza will be right there sucking up all the kudos for "taking these dangerous WMDs off the streets".
