The National Gun Amnesty comes to a close at 7:00PM on Sunday, 11 August. This means that there are only three days remaining in which persons can take advantage of the opportunity to hand in illegal guns without fear of prosecution for possession of the weapon. This can be done using any of the methods outlined here.
RCIPS reminds the public that the National Gun Amnesty has been extended for a further 10 days and have provided an update on hand ins so far. The public encouraged to hand in illegal guns before the deadline.
As the RCIPS continues in its efforts to encourage persons to relinquish their unlicensed firearms, two more firearms were handed in this past weekend. A pistol and a rifle along with an amount of ammunition were handed into police via a trusted third party, as part of the 2024 RCIPS Gun Amnesty campaign.
The RCIPS is launching a National Gun Amnesty, working with key partners and stakeholders who are taking a stand against illegal guns in our community. The Amnesty will run between 1 and 31 July, 2024, and will allow persons who possess illegal guns, ammunition and any other illegal weapons, to hand them over to the police.
