People who turn in semi-automatic rifles — such as AR- or AK-style rifles — can receive a $100 gift card. People who turn in other types of firearms can receive a $50 gift card. Free gun locks will also be available at the event, to anyone who wants one. The locks were donated by Intermountain Health, police said.
People who are unable to attend the buyback event can still turn in unwanted firearms anytime by calling 801-799-3000. However, gift cards won’t be provided, and the surrender would be documented in a police report.• Make sure the firearm is safely stored, such as in a gun lockbox or other storage container, away from a driver or passengers.
