Alberta police will destroy unregistered firearms brought in between October 1st and 31st without laying charges.

Southern Alberta RCMP spokesperson Sargeant Patrick Webb says the amnesty still doesn't cover weapons traced to crime.

"Naturally if we find a weapon that has been tested and determined to be used in a criminal offense," he said, "then we're going to investigate that and determine if that person should be suitably charged."

Call 206-8777 before dropping off a gun.  Do not take items to the police station unless police have specifically directed you to do so.
