Having read through the policy two things become glaringly obvious. First, it is expensive. The cost for the permit, the fingerprinting, the psychological test, and the firearms testing and qualification test is $2,607 for first time applicants and there is no refund of any of it if they deny you anywhere in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing is that it is incredibly restrictive as to handgun and caliber. It goes well beyond the <a href=\"http:\/\/certguns.doj.ca.gov\/safeguns_resp.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Roster of Handguns<\/a>. You are restricted to four calibers and to pistols and revolvers from certain manufacturers. If you want to use a Colt 1911, forget it. 1911&#8217;s and all single-action semiautomatic pistols are prohibited. If you think you might like a pocket pistol like the Ruger LCP in .380, forget it as you are limited to pistols in 9mm, .40 S&amp;W, and .45 ACP. <\/p>\n<p>If you think you might want to use the S&amp;W Model 29 made famous by the fictional SFPD Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry movies, you can forget that as well. Only revolvers in .38 Special are allowed. Moreover, you are only allowed to carry the weapon with which you qualified. <\/p>\n<p>As to the qualification test, it appears to be a standard 50-shot qualification test as used by many law enforcement agencies. It probably isn&#8217;t the most relevant test for a concealed carry holder but at least it is an objective test that seems to be fairly standard. I do wonder how many of the SF Sheriff&#8217;s Deputies pass the test on their first try in their annual re-qualifications. <\/p>\n<p>The policy as adopted is below.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/59407577\/San-Francisco-Carry-License-Policy\" style=\"-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"View San Francisco Carry License Policy on Scribd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Carry License Policy<\/a><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.772727272727273\" data-auto-height=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"600\" id=\"doc_69263\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/embeds\/59407577\/content?start_page=1&amp;view_mode=list&amp;access_key=key-2od4zril7ug5auv1i5wb\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n(function() { var scribd = document.createElement(&#8220;script&#8221;); scribd.type = &#8220;text\/javascript&#8221;; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = &#8220;http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/javascripts\/embed_code\/inject.js&#8221;; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(&#8220;script&#8221;)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })();<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday evening I posted about the CalGuns Foundation&#8217;s win in forcing San Francisco County Sheriff Michael Hennessey to obey&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[158,2154],"class_list":["post-4190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-concealed-carry","tag-san-francisco"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4190"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6926,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4190\/revisions\/6926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
