More than 130 guns were collected as part of a gun buyback program in the Tri-Counties. It was an event intended to make the region safer.
The Santa Barbara Police Department conducted the buyback over the weekend.
A number of pistols and rifles were turned in as a part of the anonymous program. Some were legal weapons, and some were illegal. The guns turned in will be destroyed.
People received a $100 gift card for each gun tuned in for disposal. Santa Barbara Police have been doing the gun buyback program for years.
