Turning unwanted guns into garden tools, jewelry, and art

Welcome to the Charleston WV Guns 2 Gardens Website

We successfully conducted our FIRST “Safe Firearm Surrender” Event on May 4th, 2024. And what a success it was!

At this inaugural event, we received 27 guns: 4 single shot, 16 handguns, and 7 semi-automatic. We also received 2 BB guns. We disbursed $3850 in gift cards from Kroger and Walmart. Several donors declined gift cards.

Many thanks to all our volunteers for your hard work. And a huge thanks to Scotty Utz and Stan Wilson from RAWtools-South who provide their knowledge, skills, and abilities along with all of the equipment necessary to conduct a safe, effective, and efficient event.

We will be gearing up for a second event next year and hope you will be able to join us and participate in our next event to Turn unwanted guns into garden tools, jewelry, and art.

The gun is old and unsafe. It belonged to my father, and I no longer want it.
