An anonymous gun buyback event in Fairfield aims “to prevent gun violence and to get unwanted firearms out of the community.”
The program is hosted by Faith Partners and Community (Faith PAC), the Matt Garcia Foundation in partnership with the City of Fairfield, and the Solano County District Attorney’s Office
The gun buyback will take place from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. July 9 at Mount Calvary Baptist Church, 1735 Enterprise Drive, Building 3, in Fairfield.
People can anonymously hand in unwanted guns and receive gift cards in return. No questions will be asked about who owns the guns or where they came from.
Drive-up only, firearms must be unloaded in the truck of your vehicle. You must remain in your car.
Gift cards are limited to a first come, first served basis. Boxed ammo will be accepted. Explosives will not be accepted.
“Every gun received is one less gun available that could be used in a suicide or domestic violence, stolen in a burglary, or accidentally discharged by an unsuspecting child. Together as a community we can make an impact on reducing gun violence,” said Fairfield Police Support Manager Jeremy Profitt in a press statement.
