SF’s Law Enforcement-Inspired Safe Storage Law Has Law Enforcement Carve-Out

By Robert Farago

“San Francisco added a new gun control law to the books Tuesday by mandating storage requirements for firearms left in unattended vehicles,” sfexaminer.com reports. “Gun owners will have to ensure, if they leave their firearms behind in their parked cars, the weapons are in trunks inaccessible from inside the vehicle or in lock boxes affixed to the vehicle.” If’n they don’t, “Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor, spend up to six months in jail and pay a $10,000 fine.” Check out the genesis of this “blame the victim” gun control law . . .

Supervisor David Campos introduced the law in the aftermath of the July shooting death of Kathryn Steinle at Pier 14 with a gun stolen from a federal agent’s vehicle. In October, three drifters allegedly stole a firearm from a tourist’s parked car and used it to fatally shoot a woman in Golden Gate Park and a man in Marin County.

“Here in the Bay Area, we have seen examples where guns have ended up in the wrong hands [and] lead to tragic outcomes,” Campos said.
