More leftist hypocrisy: The Sheriff of San Francisco is not allowed to carry a gun.

Love him or hate him, Sheriff Ross Mirkarmi has made a name for himself. Mirkarimi came to San Francisco in 1984. His accomplishments include co-founding the Green Party, being elected and serving as a San Francisco City Supervisor and graduating from the Police Academy.
But unlike most licensed law enforcement officers, Sheriff Ross Mirkarmi has a record. He was convicted of false imprisonment of his wife, Eliana Lopez, in a headline-grabbing domestic violence case.
