Residents trade guns for groceries at San Fernando Valley gun buyback event [View all]

MISSION HILLS >> An estimated several hundred San Fernando Valley area residents swapped guns for groceries Saturday in a Los Angeles Police Department program aimed at getting weapons off the city’s streets.

The gun buyback ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in a parking lot of the Facey Medical Group at 11333 Sepulveda Blvd. adjacent to the LAPD’s Mission Community Police Station in Mission Hills.

Those turning in guns received a $100 or $200 Ralph’s gift card. The $100 cards were distributed to people turning in pistols, rifles and shot guns and the $200 cards went to those turning in guns classified by the state as assault rifles.
