Just so every one knows, in San Francisco you must
keep your handgun unloaded and locked up
Sorry I can't provide a web link, but this was
part of a package, and it seems too recent
to be posted on San Francisco's police code
website

LEGISLATION
Four proposals to regulate firearms aim to make San Francisco safer from
gun violence
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - On the steps of Providence Baptist Church in the
Bayview Hunters Point District -joined by numerous families and community
groups affected by gun violence - Mayor Gavin Newsom and District Attorney
Kamala Harris today introduced legislation to limit the proliferation of
illegal firearms in San Francisco.
The legislative proposals include:
• Prohibiting possession and sale of firearms on County property. This law
disallows guns in local parks, community centers, schools, and government
buildings, and restricts the possibility of gun shows or gun sales from
City and County property.
• Requiring handguns kept in homes to be stored locked containers. This
regulation will protect against accidental shootings by children and
teenagers, which could in the future prevent tragic accidental deaths like
the 14-year-old girl who died in the Western Addition recently. It will
also decrease the possibility of burglaries resulting in stolen weapons.
• Increasing regulatory requirements on gun dealers, to minimize
inappropriate sales of handguns that make their way to the black market.
• Establishing a gun offender registry requiring individuals convicted of a
gun crime to maintain updated information with the city.
“My office has worked diligently for weeks to prepare this legislation,
with the full support of the District Attorney’s office,” said Mayor
Newsom. “Limiting the amount of guns on our streets and upholding the
public safety of all San Franciscans, residents and visitors alike,
continue to be my number one priorities,” continued the Mayor.
“I created this legislation with the Mayor because we firmly believe that
illegal guns are the biggest threat to public safety in San Francisco,”
said District Attorney Harris. “As District Attorney, I am bound to do
everything in my power to protect our residents and our children from gun
violence.”
Local crime statistics:
• The San Francisco Police Department seized 1, 158 guns in 2005 and 1,104
guns in 2006.
• While in 2001, 81 patients were admitted to SF General Trauma Center for
serious injuries resulting from gunshots. The number of patients admitted
for serious injuries rose to 228 by 2006.
• Similarly, the total number of shootings that resulted in nonfatal
injuries documented by SFPD was 269 in 2005, 303 in 2006.
• Gun crimes in and around schools and on buses carrying students to and
from school have become increasingly common.
• In 2003 and 2004, 52% of the City’s gun violence victims were under the
age of 25.
• In 2006, the DA’s Office prosecuted 45% more juvenile gun offenses and
doubled the conviction rate for felony gun trials to 90%, compared to 43%
in 2003.
Homicides committed with handguns are the leading cause of firearms related
injuries and death in California.
