CHICAGO — If you are looking for extra cash, you may want to look at unwanted weapons in your home.
Chicago police will give out gift cards for each unwanted gun turned over to the department as part of a turn-in event Saturday at St. Sabina Church on the city’s South Side. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 28, and organizers say the location—set to host its third turn—in event—has proven successful.
“What we are trying to do is give people a safe way to get rid of that gun,” said Glen Brooks, the city’s director of policing.
