Province initiates amnesty for weapons, ammunition

Salmon Arm residents can take advantage of an opportunity to turn in any unwanted firearms

Salmon Arm residents can take advantage of an opportunity to turn in any unwanted firearms, weapons and ammunition between Oct. 1 and 31.

Under no circumstances should anyone deliver firearms, weapons or ammunition in person and instead are asked to call their local police on their non-emergency line to arrange for their unwanted items to be picked up by police.

B.C.’s previous gun amnesty in 2013 produced 1,801 firearms, 155 other weapons and approximately 30,700 rounds of ammunition.
