NoBodyImportant Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 To be honest, if someone is willing to turn the knife in they are probably not dangerous with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted the local Police and was advised the accepted method was to wrap them in paper, to make them "safe" and place them in the non recyclable rubbish bin. This is what I did, but felt uncomfortable as it seemed a bit "unsafe". Incidentally, they showed no interest in me handing them in. I also have a few other fishing knives, pen knives, incl the obligatory swiss knifes, these all sit in a drawer and are no longer used. I can understand people having a clear out if an amnesty is announced. An happy to 'recycle' your draw stock for you, will pay postage.

Where do you draw the line short of handing in your cutlery drawer? Absolutely, I agree. If I were taking in knives and someone said "I feel these could be a risk", I wouldn't draw the line anywhere.

None made good sense, and yes I can see how it sounded contradictory. A knife as it is doesn't make it a weapon, or dangerous. But intent changes everything. That's probably as close to my thoughts as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Update: they have now put what are claimed to be actual photos of items handed in. A couple of quite nice looking (hammer?) guns included. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/hundreds-deadly-weapons-including-shotguns-6253328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
