On Saturday November 22, you are invited to turn in unwanted firearms during the Gun Buyback program event. This is aimed to allow citizens to turn in guns anonymously for payment, in order to reduce the number of weapons on the street and remove them from people who are untrained on how to use a firearm.
The gun buyback will be held from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at Pittsburg City Hall (65 Civic Avenue) and is open to Contra Costa County residents—proof of residency will be California ID, Driver’s License, utility bill, etc. The officers on hand will NOT be checking for warrants.
Participants will be paid (gift card) the following for a firearm:
- Up to $50 for non-operable
- Up to $100 for small caliber rifles
- Up to $150 for shot guns
- Up to $200 for handguns & large caliber rifles
- Up to $350 for assault weapons as classified in the State of California
The event is being sponsored by Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark Peterson in partnership with Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
