Many users condemned San Francisco officials and voters for enabling crime through liberal policies, seeing the Waymo assault as proof that residents need easier access to concealed carry permits.

@JimCarrollSF It requires a qualification, whether or not you need training to hit the qualification depends on the person

@ManMadeCapital Yes post Bruen ruling CCWs are shall-issue

@kane @supersean415 @AGRobBonta Incorrect — A reporter (@tomoki_chien) did a FOIA request and got all the CCW holders in the state.

@supersean415 They were leaked by @AGRobBonta in 2022, but technically they are private

@kane Still requires training though, right?

@kane Yeah but the permits probably have a 3 year waiting list.

@Surferonx777 6 mos!

@kane Do you need help with that?

@kane Are they still publishing names & addresses of those issued permits?

@fooorrest @kane @supersean415 @AGRobBonta Nah. They were CPRA requests (not FOIAs; that’s for federal) to every PD/SO in California. Most LEAs gave anonymized data and I don’t recall any giving me addresses. FWIW I was surprised that even a handful turned over names.

@kane how confident are you of this Kane? any sources verifying such?

@kane It’s still not legal to discharge your firearm because something you saw on your phone threatens your investments in “self driving” vehicles.

@tomoki_chien @kane @supersean415 @AGRobBonta I stand corrected! When is that article coming out? Pretty interested.

@kane Even a Canadian in California on a TN visa? 👀

@fooorrest @kane @supersean415 @AGRobBonta I ended up leaving The SF Standard before I got all the requests back so never finished the project. (We wanted to see if LEAs were approving more CCWs than before.)
So really all I accomplished was pissing off all the CCW holders in California.

@tomoki_chien I wanted to see that too! Pre v post Bruen.

@noahsloss @kane so the cars that drive themselves without drivers get labeled “self driving” in scare quotes.

@fooorrest @kane @AGRobBonta @tomoki_chien the PII should never have been released... this was done by Bonta's office

@JuicyJuuce @kane They’re driven by AGI. A Guy in India.

@kane Imagine paying and begging to exercise your rights. When your biggest threat is a 14 year old black "person" with a full auto glock he stole (theft is legal)
