SASKATOON – There have been 135 unwanted firearms and nearly 2,400 rounds of ammunition turned in province-wide since the launch of the Saskatchewan municipal police services, Saskatchewan RCMP, and the Ministry of Environment Firearm Amnesty Program on March 20.
Residents of Saskatchewan wishing to surrender their unwanted firearms, replicas, ammunition, or parts through the amnesty program can do so until April 9, 2023. During this time, no charges will be laid in relation to unauthorized possession or careless storage of these items.
It’s important to note that members of the public must not transport firearms to municipal services, detachments or conservation offices. By pre-arrangement, police officers or conservation officers will attend to pick up unwanted firearms from the homes of residents who wish to surrender them.
