MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - December 22, 2008 --
People on Long Island brought their guns to church over the weekend. But it was all part of the plan.
Authorities say 475 illegal guns were turned in at Long Island churches Saturday, in a cash for guns program.
People in Nassau County, New York, got 200 bucks for shotguns and pistols, no questions asked.
BB guns and air pistols were worth $20 cash.
The cash for the program came from money seized in criminal investigations.
