IMPD collecting firearms, not even a buy-back!

[E5RANGER375]

Hadn't been called sleazy yet, guess I'll check that one off the list. It's going to be tough to live up to all the expectations of the people I've never met.

your reply was priceless.

well you know, you can never please everyone no matter what job you have. but at least you can sleep well knowing you get some sweet boots.

 

[E5RANGER375]

This isn't IMPD's doing. We all know who put IMPD up to this.

oh, here we go, another thread that blames everything on obama

Get? Get!?!?

I pay for my boots I'll have you know. Just don't bring it up around my wife please. Two pair of Danner Ft Lewis and a pair of Under Armour just in the past four months.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

Sorry, no offense to individual officers. That is more directed towards some of the people in charge who setup stuff like this.

Pretty pleased with them so far. Not sure they're going to be the most durable boots out there but they are very light and very comfortable.

So if a guy was to show up at a location and talk to anyone who may show up to turn in a gun and exchange phone #'s and explain the law prior to them handing the gun/s over to police it would be perfectly legal. <wink> <wink>

So who's gonna show up at what site? Maybe we can get a few guys to show up at each site to keep some of these legally owned guns from being destroyed for no reason at all.

Next question is... Will the police dept. run these serial #'s to verify the guns turned in have not been reported stolen so they can be returned.

those are sharp boots Phylodog, and surprisingly affordable. might have to take a look at those.

It is smart for them to have the free gun turn in on April 16. They can then take them to East Chicago on April 30th and turn a huge profit!

I've had a pair of Under Armour cross trainers for a couple of years. They have held up well and are comfortable so I thought I'd try a pair of their boots. They have them in black as well but black ends up looking like crap pretty quickly at the Eagle Creek range so I went with the tan, the gravel dust doesn't show up as much.

Info from LEO's on this forum..

With all respect, from you LEO's on this forum-how can IMPD waive/bypass the State law on handgun transport without a LTCH??
If the church is regarded as a "School", how can IMPD waive/bypass the "Gun Free" school zones??

well have you ever been speeding and got a warning instead of a ticket? Id assume its similar. officer discretion.

 

[Hi im Bob]

They actually do stuff like this in my area often. It does nothing to stop crime IMO. They usually give you a gift card or something for the firearm. Noone is going to turn in their gun if they intend to use it for a crime. At best they get broken guns and guns people are unsure of. Waste of time and money IMO.

I agree with you ....
but lets say (for the sake of argument) that someone brought in a rare colt pistol. its probly going in some cops pocket, or its getting melted down. either way that sucks. why doesnt the city go through these guns and pick out the good guns and repair and sell them to LEGAL gun owners (to give everyone a shot) and use it for community programs or city parks or serious crime victims families.

no they wouldnt do that. because the politicians dont want any of us to have guns. and if some CRIMINAL decided to steal one of those "sold" guns and use it in a crime then it might look bad. never mind the fact that the CRIMINAL committed a criminal act to then go and commit a criminal act, WE MUST BLAME THE GUNS!!! its all politics.

E5, they do. Sure they take some shlock and put it in the furnance for the cameras, but the city usually sells them via restrictive sales agreements with wholesalers, e.g. cannot be sold within 150 miles of the city.

Keisler's sold guns from Chicago, New Orleans, New York City, etc. via restrictive sales agreements.

Let's do what the people of Texas did. Stand in the parking lot and buy the guns from the people before they go into the dumpster.
