Morgan Hill Times: Gun Buyback Nets 289 Unwanted Firearms

Despite drenching rain and strong winds, people weren’t deterred when it came to dropping off unwanted guns Saturday during a gun buyback program staged by Santa Clara County law agencies and the District Attorney’s Office.

Spread out in several tents with a motor vehicle drive-thru at the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Center on Condit Road, scores of officers teamed up for the five-hour event to offer cash to the public for unwanted firearms.

By noon more than 250 guns had been turned over, said Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Scott Purvis.
