The public can unload unwanted firearms at San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza today -- no questions asked -- and receive $100 to $200 gift cards in return.
The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is sponsored by the mayor's office and the San Francisco Youth Commission and is called "Gifts for Guns."
The public can bring in an unloaded, operative firearm in a clear plastic bag that is put into another container, such as a gym bag. Anyone turning in ammunition should put it in a plastic bag separate from the firearm.
Those who drive the gun to the event should put it in the trunk.
People who turn in rifles or shotguns will receive a $100 gift card; a revolver or semiautomatic will bring a $150 gift card. Those who bring an assault-type firearm will receive a $200 gift card.
