Cops to offer vouchers for guns

Tired of lugging around Grandpa's old Tommy Gun? Sick of staring at Cousin Earl's .45 in the dining room?

Tired of lugging around Grandpa's old Tommy Gun? Sick of staring at Cousin Earl's .45 in the dining room? Philadelphia police have the solution: a gun buyback event will be held from noon to 2 p.m. tomorrow at Our Lady of Consolation Church at 7000 Tulip Street in Northeast Philadelphia.

Here's the deal -- you bring a gun, and the PD will hand over a $50 voucher that can be redeemed at ShopRite or Acme. No questions. No awkward stares. Just a good, clean, guns-for-food trade-off.
