A federal judge has back the Peoples Republic of San Francisco and its largely hoplophobe population in a legal action with the NRA.
Hoplophobia is an unreasonable and unrealistic fear of weapons. Many people in positions of power and authority in SF appear to believe that firearms are likely to walk down the street under their own power and start shooting at random with no direction from an actual human. In 1994 SF banned possession of expanding (hollow point?) bullets by non-governmental employees. In 2008 they mandated that firearms within their jurisdiction be kept locked in the home.
On Monday Judge Richard Seeborg of the U.S. District Court ruled that these requirements do not conflict with the 2008 SCOTUS ruling on firearms for self-protection, according to a brief factoid in today’s Sacramento PRAVDA.
I guess now on the rare occasion when I venture into the wilds of SF I will have to try to remember to carry hardball in my .45.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Bob, if I read this correctly, according to the 2008 ordinance you can carry your .45 hardballs, but as long as you are inside the People’s Republic of San Fransicko, you better not have that pistola on your person or in your wheels.

Turns out the expanding bullet ban only coveres retail sales to non-law enforcement entities made within the City and County of San Francisco. It does not affect legal carry (or even illegal carry I guess).
