Mayor of P.A. promises gun return program as licensing discussion heats up
The mayor of Prince Albert has announced council is working on a program to help reduce firearm thefts.
Calling in to Talk Back with Brandon Graziano on CKBI Friday morning Greg Dionne said they were looking at introducing an initiative for gun returns.
“If you have a long rifle that you got from an estate, or someone that’s not hunting anymore, we’re going to run a program,” Dionne said. “We’ll ask people to come and voluntarily turn them in.”
Dionne and many members of the public called in to the radio show, prompted by the robbery of a gun store in Prince Albert Wednesday morning. Hand guns were stolen in that case but residential property crime often involves the theft of all sorts of firearms.
