A total of 323 firearms were turned in during a gun buyback event held Saturday, November 7, at RedGate Park in Rockville.
The event was organized by the Rockville City Police Department in partnership with the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, providing an opportunity for individuals to voluntarily and anonymously surrender unwanted firearms.
The buyback took place at 14500 Avery Road and was open to participants throughout the region, not just Rockville residents. No identification was required, and no questions were asked.
Participants were offered $100 gift cards for functioning handguns, rifles, shotguns and privately made firearms, or $200 gift cards for functioning assault weapons, subject to availability.
