In an effort to curb gun violence, California’s San Luis Obispo has set aside $12,000 in gift cards for the city’s first Guns for Groceries event, which is planned for this Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Californians dropping off assault rifles will receive a $200 grocery store gift card while handguns, rifles, and shotguns are worth $100 cards.
Non-operating guns will garner a $50 grocery store gift card.
The event is designed to clear the streets of unwanted guns that are not in use and inherited firearms that residents would like to discard but don’t know where or how to do so….
