Following in the footsteps of the highly successfull Washington DC gun ban, the city fathers of San Francisco are proposing a city wide ban. We’re not just talking about banning concealed weapons, but a ban on all handguns in your home or business. The article is not clear about whether this covers all guns or just handguns.

What you don’t realize is that the good thinking officials in SF are just trying to make it safer for
people who make ‘wrong choices’. Can’t you imagine how traumatic it is
to be crawling through the 2nd story window (purely by accident) of that
sexy little single mother you followed home from the bar and just as
you’re about to express your desire for her she whips out a 9mm and
blows your balls off? All of that trauma could be avoided if they just
ban guns.

If San Francisco doesn’t have any guns then there won’t be any more episodes like
these:

San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco, Calif., 2/22/00

American Rifleman Issue: 5/1/2000
Awakened by noises at his back door early one morning, an 83-year-old
San Francisco widower resolved to protect himself with a handgun
purchased for exactly such an eventuality. As an intruder armed with a
tire iron approached his bedroom, the elderly homeowner retrieved the
gun and pulled the trigger for the first time in 30 years. Bought in
1948, the .38-cal. Smith & Wesson revolver had gone largely unused for
more than half a century. It finally became the man’s only hope of
self-preservation, proving deadly reliable in a pinch. The shot ended
the confrontation and the invader’s life. The homeowner said later, “I
never thought I would kill another person. I just wanted to stay at home
and mind my own business.”

The Chronicle, San Francisco, CA, 4/4/97

American Rifleman Issue: 10/1/1997
A San Francisco, California, art dealer was awakened at 2 a.m. by the
sound of breaking glass in his home. Fearing for the safety of his
daughters, who were asleep downstairs, Allen Leung dialed 911 for help
and grabbed his .38-cal. handgun. The intruder made his way into Leung’s
bedroom, demanded money and threatened him. Leun shot the man in the
chest. The burglar had a criminal record. Leung was not expected to be
charged because he acted in self-defense, police said.

Won’t you sleep better at night knowing that help is just a 911 call away?
