The event was held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at a parking lot at 19725 Colima Road, near Fairway Drive.

Those who turn in handguns, rifles and shotguns received $100 gift cards from local vendors.

Assault weapons fetched $200 in gift cards.

The program will continue Saturday at the same location from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
