‘ I just wanted them out’: 29 guns collected at buy- back
Ike Singleton lives in Joliet, but on Saturday he made the 30- mile trek to south suburban Dolton with two shotguns. He left with $ 200.
“It wasn’t really for the money, I just wanted them out,” Singleton said.
The 68- year- old was tired of seeing the shotguns sitting in his room at home, and was worried his grandchildren might get ahold of them.
Singleton, who said he loves animals, has no interest in hunting, and no interest in owning the guns.
Saturday’s buy- back collected 29 guns, according to Dolton Police Chief Robert Collins Jr. They included rifles, shotguns and handguns — even a single- shot derringer. Each gun turned in got its previous owner a MasterCard with $ 100 on it. Matthew Hendrickson
