Gun Buyback Program Set For Saturday In Amsterdam

wikipedia

A gun buyback program in Amsterdam will hold an event this weekend.

The third “Gifts for Guns” buyback program is Saturday.

The effort is a partnership between the Trinity Lutheran Church, Amsterdam Police Department, and Montgomery County District Attorney’s office.

Handguns can be dropped off at Trinity Lutheran Church at 42 Guy Park Avenue from 9 a.m. to noon in exchange for a $100 gift card.

Organizers say the “no questions asked”  program allows people to turn in weapons without fear of being prosecuted.

Lucas Willard is the Executive Producer of WAMC's Northeast Notebook. After joining the station in 2011, Lucas has held several titles at WAMC, including Berkshire Bureau Chief, Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief, and Assistant News Director.
