ORLANDO, Fla. - Authorities are holding a 'Kicks 4 Guns' event on Thursday with the goal of getting unwanted guns off the streets of Central Florida.
Residents can turn in a gun, no questions asked, at one of the event locations and in return, they will receive a $50 gift card.
The event was started 21 years ago with Real Radio 104.1 when they started working with local law enforcement to help get guns off the streets. Sneakers used to be the item participants would receive, but now it's gift cards.
Anyone who wants to turn in a gun must make sure that the weapon is unloaded prior to bringing it to the event. The gun must be in a plastic bag inside the car. A deputy will retrieve the gun for you.
