Of the 109 firearms there were 51 rifles, 20 handguns and 15 shotguns, the other weapons turned in included pellet guns, replica and antique firearms.

鈥淩CMP in 91大黄鸭 are pleased to see that residents seem to recognize that unwanted weapons in homes are a potential hazard,鈥� Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey said in a press release. 鈥淭he weapons seized could have led to a tragic outcome if they had fallen into the wrong hands, such as a small child or criminal.鈥�
