RCPD Collects 270 Firearms During Gun Buyback

On August 17, 2024, the Rockville City Police Department and the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office held the 3rd annual gun buyback event at Redgate Park. Those voluntarily surrendering firearms were provided either a $100 or a $200 VISA gift card depending on the type of firearm surrendered. A $100 VISA gift card was provided in exchange for handguns, rifles, and shotguns. A $200 VISA gift card was provided for assault weapons and privately made firearms. Privately made firearms are commonly referred to as "ghost guns." The RCPD collected approximately 270 firearms during the event. Those firearms are still being inventoried. All firearms collected will be sent for destruction within the next 48 hours.
