Ok guys, so we have a gun buyback program going on tomorrow in Hartford. I'm only 15 minutes from the location so I'm thinking I might try going and buying some guns off of people that plan to turn them in. The buyback is offering supermarket gift cards of $200 for "assault weapons," $100 for handguns, and $25 for rifles/shotguns.
I plan to be dressed respectfully and very nicely, not have any garish or challenging signs, no bullhorn, etc... I won't do anything at all to make myself look like a bad guy, a threat, or trouble maker. for the police. I will have trigger locks on hand so that I can lock up any gun purchased per CT state law, and will have plenty of forms printed out that need to be submitted per CT law.
So, is there anything else you think I should be warned about? As far as interaction with police, interaction with potential sellers, judging who would be legit to buy from, etc...? Anyone ever done this before? I'd sure love some tips from veterans of such shenanigans!
