Preparing for Gun Turn In Phoenix 4 May, 2013


The drive to Phoenix from Yuma is about three hours, for what will be the first gun turn in event in 20 years. Many people come to the valley of the sun to retire, so the potential for widows who are not familiar with their husbands "old army rifle" or "Grandpa's shotgun" are pretty good.

I and a good friend looked at the three sites last night. A couple were on the South side in modest neighborhoods. I have seen much, much worse. A lady of the evening in a red sequined dress and a nice figure sauntered along the sidewalk a couple of blocks from one site.

The third site, in North Phoenix, is in a more prosperous area, with better parking. We will start there.

I expect to have more details and pictures by tomorrow. If I can work it in, I will have an update tonight.

Correction: My memory was faulty on how long ago the last turn-in event occurred in Phoenix. Police officers at the scene differed. Some said 7-8 years ago, some said three. Clearly the 20 year figure was not correct.

Good hunting. Hope you pick up some nice "hardware" during your outing. (Not that kind of "outing".)
