For the past several years, the Shreveport Police Department and Shreveport-Caddo Crime Stoppers have had a program in place called "Don't shoot, I want to grow up."  The concept is simple -- rat on somebody who's illegally carrying or possessing a firearm and get a reward.  It's illegal for anybody without the proper permit to carry a concealed weapon and it's illegal for anybody who's ever been convicted of certain felony crimes to even possess a firearm.  Turn somebody like that in and Shreveport-Caddo Crime Stoppers will pay $200 for an illegal handgun and $500 for any illegal rifle or shotgun seized.  You can call Crime stoppers and leave an anonymous tip at 673-7373.
