Since 1999, Florida residents have been swapping their unwanted guns for sneakers as part of a program called Kicks For Guns.

Today, the 17th annual event is taking place across Central Florida and law enforcement are hoping for a turnout like last year which saw 802 firearms turned in, 21 of which were illegal.

Depending on the location one chooses, the weapons can be exchanged for a gift card or sneakers. Although it isn't clear which sneakers are up for the taking, this sounds like a pretty solid deal to us.
