Victory Church hosting Gifts for Guns buyback on Saturday
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A local church is working to improve safety this holiday season. Victory Church in Albany is partnering with the Albany Police Department to host their Gifts for Guns program.
The church gives out $100 gift cards in exchange for unregistered, working handguns. The pastor said it's part of the ongoing efforts to prevent violence before it happens.
"Right now, we have an opportunity, in Albany, to come together, to listen and look at the hot situations that are happening and really begin to deal with them," Pastor Charlie Muller said.
Guns can be dropped off at the church's Quail Street location from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday with no questions asked.
