Gaius Octavius Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 In Philadelphia (USA), they even pay for the surrendered weapons. I think that every old blunderbus is turned in. Don't know if it effects the crime rate. A hoist from the Tarpian Rocks might have a more salutary effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
