Chicago and a "gun buy back".

[LastShot123]

Im with this. I doubt their system is organized well enough to return those stolen to their rightful owners.. again speculation, but is there any proof on this that owners have been reimbursed if such items?

Be advised: DINNER BELL! Chicago?s dropping a quarter mil on gun buybacks. We?ll be there. | GunsSaveLife.com

Yup. The article listed them, and others, as being part of the problem.
Not realizing of course, the buyback is part of the problem.

Even if I owned a weapon worth $0.00 I don't see how it would pay to take the time, drive to Chitcago, stand in line, put up with the BS and what not while being forced to be unarmed to get $100.00 (loaded on a card where they can track where I spend it). Just my time for the drive is worth more than that to me each way...

I guess the only win would be to immediately buy $100 worth of ammo at the first gun store across the border just to pi$$ them off.

I was telling my wife last night that I have a couple I would be willing to let go for a $100 gift card. I have a single shot 12 ga shotgun that is not even worth $25, so why not trade it for $100. Play them at their own game - turn in guns that are not worth crap and make some money and let Chicago brag about how may deadly weapons they got off the street.

When Indy had a gun buy back, many years ago, I had an old Jennings .22 that had a broken extractor, bad spring, and I think the firing pin or something else was actually was broken in two. I put all the pieces in a zip lock bag!!! You should of seen the face of the LEO that took it!! I think they were giving 20.00 or 30.00 cash on the spot!! No papers or nothing, just drive through..
