Introduction

The Alamodome will soon be hosting a gun buyback program with the cooperation of H-E-B, for up to $300 per weapon.

Firstly, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated store location count, which in part accounts for the company's influence and agreement to participate: There are 327 HEB stores in the United States as of September 12, 2023. The state with the most number of HEB locations in the US is Texas, with 327 stores, which is about 100% of all HEB stores in the US.

Let us explore further.

H-E-B and Social Efforts, 2023

According to a report from KSAT.com, San Antonio District 9 Councilman John Courage is requesting the public's help to raise $250,000.00 for the city's first gun buyback program on Nov. 19. It should be noted Courage has already donated $100,000 of his district’s carry forward funds, attained from the rolling balance of District 9's annual discretionary funding, for the program.

As excerpted from the report: In the “voluntary weapons exchange” his council office has taken the lead on creating, people will be able to exchange as many as 20 unloaded weapons for H-E-B gift cards at the Alamodome parking between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Gun owners can get $50 for a non-functioning or home manufactured weapon, $150 for a rifle or shotgun, $200 for a handgun, or $300 for a semi-automatic rifle.

The event has been reportedly confirmed as moving forward.
