Are you concerned about the pervasive gun violence in our country? Would you like to do something concrete to get guns off the street?
On June 10 from 10:00 until noon, a group of volunteers from 8 local churches will join with churches nationwide for a safe surrender event in conjunction with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship and RawTools. Our local event will be held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church and is co-sponsored by the Leon County Sheriff's Department.
Participants bring guns that they no longer want or use--unloaded and in the trunk of their car. After being inspected by a deputy to assure its safety, each gun will be dismantled using a chop saw, ensuring that it can never be used to harm anyone. The metal will be forged into garden tools, and an instrument of death will be transformed into a tool that promotes life. Those surrendering weapons will be given a gift card as a thank you for disposing of their unwanted guns.
Your support allows us to continue this important work. Thank you for your donation.
