Values of donated firearms must be accurate and requests for excessive deductions will be denied and recalculated by our staff. before sending any firearms to the center, a removal worksheet must be completed. On this worksheet you will provide your estimate of the firearms value, after firearm(s) are received at our federally licensed facility, they will be inspected and your value estimate will be approved or denied. If the estimate is deemed excessive we will re-value them for you and your tax deductible receipt will be sent to you.

Occasionally the center receives firearms that are extraordinary, unique, have historic significance, or are useful to law enforcement. These firearms are repurposed in numerous ways. Unique or historic: if a firearm is determined to be extraordinary that firearm is loaned or donated at our discretion upon request to educational institutions such as museums.

If requested, firearms are transferred to law enforcement agencies for training, familiarization or other purposes that help aid law enforcement.
