    Owning a handgun in SF is not really any different than elsewhere in the Bay Area.

    The "dangerous ammo" ban is poorly worded and vague, and no one has been arrested for it, to my knowledge. The "high cap" ban is still being fought by the NRA, to my knowledge, but no ine has been arrested fir it that I know either.

    Just mind your p's and q's, especially about transport, since there are school zones everywhere. Oh, and never leave ANYTHING in your car. Smash and grabs are common everywhere.

    The weather is amazing. I definitely agree there. The Pizza is also excellent.

      Agree with all of this, but you forgot one very important item on your list - San Francisco is where the money and jobs are. At least for certain industries that are making a lot of money right now, it's the place to be.

      You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.

        I've been in many places in the world and SF is one of the most beautiful cities there are. About guns I have no idea, never lived there. I visit any chance I get, and would continue to do so. Never care for their politicians but what can we do? right?

          When I buy bulk it is usually a the gun show now and I just do the DL copy and finger print right there, takes 2 minutes. The big ammo companies that go to Crossroads are all set up for it.
          Why would they? Daly City is not in SF.

                All subjective. Depends on where you look, take a look at LA/LV, has so much slime but many only know it is the busy beautiful wonderful cities. Some people only see that because they only spots they visit are the nice parts. But some may see the entire city and more of the dark places of the "Beautiful" cities. Same as Brazil/HI and every other magical destination. All will have their filth. Just depends on how you see/look at it.

                  My lady friend lives in SF and I make it a point to exercise my ccw every time I'm there. The place is full of nut jobs but when you look at it from the right angle it is a hell of a place to be.

                      manufactured for over 10yrs. Should have banned Unicorns too. I hear those

                      Ok...ban means buy or have in possesion? I assume if you have your CCW that is good to go right? I have carried many times to SF and my carry round is a RA45T (Ranger-T's .45 acp). No..its technically not called the Black Talon so I'm GTG?

                      It's just a skin color thing right? Err round color I mean?

                          Main reasons I live here...the cool weather and no fat chicks. I had to go down to San Mateo last weekend and HOLLY CARP it was 85 degrees and the ladies were so fricking fat! Sure, my property tax might be $10K per year, but it's worth it to not be surrounded by sweaty fat people.

                          I still buy ammo online too.

                            You must live in the Marina or something there's plenty of fat chicks in the sunset and west San Francisco. And usually covered in layers topped off with a hoodie.

                              Definitely not much fat chicks in sunset. I live there and rarely see any. The population in sunset is mainly Asians.

                              San Francisco is on the list of top 10 least obese city in the US.

                              The Gallup-Healthways poll of U.S. metro areas found that many have at least 15 percent of residents who are obese, with those residents also having the highest rates of chronic diseases.

                                Yeah the Asian chicks aren't fat but the other ethnicities are. To be honest i don't pay attention to Asian women because they don't appeal to me. And as far as that list goes when compared to the deep fried south not as many morbidly obese but were a fat country as a whole. I'm fat meals
