Cars can be seen lining up at the entrance of Deussen Park three hours before the start of Harris County's third "no questions asked" gun buyback event.Harris County will hold its third gun buyback event Saturday morning at Deussen Park in the Summerwood neighborhood, with the goal of reducing violent crime across the area.
The turnout has exceeded expectations in the past, and officials told Eyewitness News they expect a good turnout again. Cars could be seen lining up at the entrance of the park three hours before the start of Saturday's event.This time around, the process should be more efficient with more staff on-hand and a larger location. Officials said they collected 845 firearms from the first event in Third Ward and 1,208 during the second event in Alief.
The first two events took place in high-crime neighborhoods, but the third is not. ABC13 asked officials about the change. Leaders said they wanted to get outside the city and into the county, where people might have more unwanted guns they're looking to get rid of. Participants can exchange their firearms, no questions asked, for gift cards ranging in value depending on the type of gun.Here's how much money you'll get on a gift card for each item:
