Guns to Gardens
Saturday, September 19 | 10:00 AM -12:00 PM | Allisonville Christian Church (7701 Allisonville Rd.)
Allisonville Christian Church is hosting Indianapolis’s first Guns to Gardens event, a program that gives firearms a second life as garden tools instead of weapons.
Guns to Gardens is a nationwide, faith-rooted initiative offering a safe way to surrender unwanted firearms. Once a professional confirms a weapon is unloaded, it’s dismantled on-site, and a blacksmith forges the metal into gardening tools. Those who’d rather not have their firearm repurposed can opt to have it destroyed or turned into art instead.
Please share this information with gun-owning friends and family. Find details from Allisonville Christian Church at the button below.
