This month, San Mateo County will host another Gun Buyback which has been seen in other counties in the Bay Area. In 2018, the county had held two of these events that were very successful. They also had evaluated responses from previous surveys to help make this year much more efficient. The events have been hosted by Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback, who founded the event last year along with the San Mateo County Sheriff, the Redwood City Police and the Belmont Police Chief. Weapons are bought from residents and local citizens and paid for their guns depending on the type. Handguns, shotguns, and rifles will go for $100 and assault rifles for $200 cash. It will be held in San Carlos, December 14th, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
