Gun Blank Disposal [message #376163]

Yes, I'm serious!

We got a donation of stuff from the estate of an audio tech, mostly old test equipment and random parts. Among the items was a small styrofoam packet of gun blanks, which I presumed he used for impulse responses.

This sort of thing makes me nervous, but I don't know how one disposes of such items. Anyone know?

Thanks,

Noah

Buy a gun and use'em!

No... seriously, a gun store may accept them for recycling, no?

Did the guy ever work for Phil Spector?

If so, you may be destroying evidence.

Best, Marcel

I'm sure the cops know how to dispose of stuff like that.

A theatre or film school might want them.

Yes, take them to the police. That's the absolute safest way to go.

Those "gun blanks" may be charges for a concrete hammer. Pretty tame, if so. You can just toss them in the trash.

They say "Hi Power" on them, I don't think they'll go in the trash can. I'd love to put them on train tracks, but that would probably cause an nationally televised crisis, with Swat teams and the national guard.

The guy didn't work for Phil Spector, but he did work for Phil Ramone.

One of these suggestions will work, I'm sure. Thanks!
