Huntsville's adult toy store definitely knows how to stay in the news.  This time, Pleasures owner Sherri Williams says her store is working to get 300 guns off the streets, trading them for adult toys.

The "Guns for Toys" event is scheduled for February 8-15 at the Pleasures drive-thru store on University Drive.  David Smith, owner and licensed gun dealer of Blue Steel Gun Works, will be at the store daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. to assess the value and condition of the guns.

"It’s my contribution to making love, not war here in Alabama, where guns are legal and adult toys are not,” said Williams.

“We’re loading our silver bullets to take aim at the hearts of gun enthusiasts who may rather kiss a woman than their gun on this Valentine's Day,” Williams added.

Williams says all guns that were used in a crime will be handed over to authorities, while all others will be auctioned off at MyPleasureStore.com.  A portion of the proceeds will benefit the victims of violent crimes through the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission.
