The city of San Antonio is hosting its first gun buyback program on Sunday, Nov. 19 at the Alamodome, inviting area gun owners to safely dispose of unwanted weapons. Gun owners will receive an H-E-B gift card for each firearm they hand in. Backed by District 9 Councilman John Courage, the drive-thru event is open to anyone who lives in San Antonio or surrounding communities in the hopes of taking firearms out of circulation.
The project will pay $50 for a nonfunctioning or home-manufactured weapon, $150 for a rifle or shotgun, $200 for a handgun and $300 for a semi-automatic rifle. Courage’s office previously told the Express-News that guns that can’t be traced to a legal owner will be destroyed and used to create a public art project. If a weapon is traceable and found to have been stolen, authorities will return it to the legal owner.
