Don’t know about SF, but Seattle isn’t an issue - the State of WA is a Shall Issue state, and every time Seattle tries to “tighten” up firearm laws the State asserts its right to be the sole source of firearm regulations - and slaps Seattle down.
I was not referring to firearms ownership, carry, purchasing etc. I spent a LOT of years in Seattle, and the ‘burbs nearby, before moving up into the mountains at retirement, with an FFL with zero problems. It is the other ‘rat/liberal/commie crap I was speaking of. Sorry for not separating those areas. My fault.
