NC: Wilmington Turn In Produces Scant Results, Public will Benefit in Future

09/04/13

The gun turn in event was held at three separate churches on 24 August, 2013, in Wilmington, NC.  The total number of guns turned in, for all three locations, was reported as 67.  More guns might have been turned in, but the organizers ran out of money and gift card incentives.

The organizers offered $100 for rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and $200 for "assault rifles".  No definition was given for "assault rifles" so the one SKS turned in might have qualified.  It is not known if it was turned in without a magazine, or if the magazine was removed at the event.

 The guns turned in can be roughly classified into two categories: those worth less than the incentive offered, and those worth more.  An intact SKS is worth more than $200, but I do not know if it was intact when turned in.  For all the other guns, $100 would be the price break.
