Murfreesboro Police gun buyback this Saturday

[gregintenn]

What are they paying for guns? I have a few to unload if they bring enough.

[GlockSpock]

I don't know much about gun prices.
so I'd probably end up spending too much for a rusty piece of $#!t

 

Straight from the factory, Comrade!

[Oh Shoot]

The bigger risk you would run would be possession of stolen property.

 

As was mentioned you have to knowingly possess it to be culpable. Every private sale and trade in the US has the possibility of involving a stolen firearm.

Wouldn't we be covered by sincerely asking the Seller if it is their legally owned firearm to sell?

No paperwork, just exchange Cash for Firearm?

In America, burden is on the prosecution.

Only for a conviction; not to take you to trial.

I asked security at the hospital... they had no idea about a gun buy back...just a medicine and drug take back... and it will be in front of the DuPaul building in the parking lot

[cybernorris]

Stay on the sidewalk and you're perfectly legal for being there. If I had money, I'd go.

[morrisster]

so is this a thing? are we organizing a TGO buy-back program? I'll come up for a few hours if that's the case. I'd prefer a group (2 or 3 at least) so we can stand in solidarity in case the police start acting stupid about our presence. Its like going to a storage auction - you never know what'll show up. If they are offering $50 gift cards, I bet all we'd have to do is offer $60 cash (shoot even $50 cash). Seriously though, if anyone is going, please please please PM me and i'll join.

[morrisster]

read the article - looks like it will be may 4 now - because of the rain. Someone in m-boro check it out and let me know for sure though. I'm looking at a 2 hour drive each way. If nothing else it will be great entertainment :)

[thundersnow]

Sweet! If it is may 4 then I can make it too... now if only somebody had a table with an umbrella for shade.

[ironsniper1]

I can make it if anyone else is going just send me a pm

[Hershmeister]

I called the PD and they have officially moved it to may 4. It's on my calendar. <br /><br />If too many of us show up it might turn into an impromptu auction- lol

[oldman]

Wouldn't a bill of sale from the seller and a picture of their drivers license be sufficient to cover one's rear? Seriously thinking of going with a couple of blank bill of sales, a nice sign "cash for guns" and see what happens.

Seeing a driver's license and having no reason to believe they are prohibited is enough. Ask them, "can you legally own firearms?".

 

Many people won't do a bill of sale or let you make a copy of their driver's license. Perfectly legal people, like many here.

 

Do what you like, but none of what you suggest is necessary to CYA.

Having never been to one of these buy backs, isn't the "bait" that the PD don't even ask questions when someone hands in a gun?

If so, someone might not want to sign a bill of sale, or make a copy of a DL.

 

I figured just asking a seller like Oh Shoot stated would cover a buyer. BUT I may be wrong

If a buyer has no HCP and won't sign a BOS and let me make a copy of their DL I don't buy. Period end of story. If it costs me a deal then so be it.

[c.a.willard]

The not wanting someone to make a copy of the DL i can understand as that has a fair amount of personally identifying information, but i have never understood why some people are unwilling to sign a bill of sale.

Conversely, I fully understand why many people want to stay as anonymous as possible regarding completely legal private firearms sales.

Hershmeister, thanks for calling the PD. I will try my best to make it up there next weekend. I agree with OS, just ask if they legally owned the firearm and that they are a TN resident. (that's all I usually do). See you guys there?

[xjsnake]

I'm going to have to clear some time but I'll probably be there with $ in hand

[TNMTBik3r]

Damn I wish I had some money to spare, I would go up there and help collect  :)

[Guest danielh03]

I thought it was against the law to bring firearms onto grounds owned by a hospital......

[ncldwell]

This the first police buy back I've ever seen in TN...does this happen often?
