On August 27th and 28th from 9am-12pm, Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain will be hosting a community gun buy-back program at the Kane County Health Department, 1240 N. Highland Ave, in Aurora. The event will be co-hosted by the Kane County Health Department and the Aurora Police Department in the interest of making our community as safe as possible.
This will be a no-questions-asked amnesty event where anyone turning in a firearm will be provided with a $100 gift card donated by Community Christian Church. Guns must be unloaded, operational, and transported in a case, box, bag, or trunk of a vehicle.
This will be the first gun-buy back operated by the Sheriff’s Office in at least two decades. Sheriff Hain said, “we hope that turnover of unwanted, operational firearms from our citizens will decrease the likelihood of accidental injury or death and guns being stolen from homes and later used in the commission of crimes.
Anyone with additional questions regarding this program are encouraged to contact Sheriff Hain directly at 630-208-2000.
