SF Supervisors Lead Rally Against Gun Shows At Cow Palace

Cow Palace Is Located Close To Districts With Most Homicides

POSTED: 7:11 PM PDT April 12, 2004

SAN FRANCISCO -- Two supervisors representing the San Francisco districts with the most homicides rallied in support of a state bill that would prohibit gun shows in a local concourse.

The supervisors, who don't hold any power over the state-owned Cow Palace, urged the Public Safety Committee of the California State Senate to vote favorably Tuesday upon a bill that would ban the sale of firearms and ammunition at the Cow Palace.

State Sen. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, is the sponsor of the legislation.

"The state-owned Cow Palace sits directly across the street from the neighborhoods that are most ravaged by violence and loss of life due to guns. It is an insult to the families of these victims for the state of California to allow the sale of guns to continue at this venue," Sandoval said during Monday's rally.

The Cow Palace, located south of San Francisco, has a gun show scheduled for May 1 and 2.

Haven't these gun show bans generally been slapped down in most states? They are selling a legal product, legally, the same as any other kind of product show.

Since when that did stop the seditious turds from attempting to overthrow the Bill of Rights?

[Jeff Head]

Stay safe bro.

True....
But it seems to me, that having a Gun Show in San Francisco, is a little like trying to sell Witchcraft items in the Vatican...

Many Central/Northern Kalifornians - REFUSE to do business of any kind in San Francisco...
There are plenty of communities, with facilities nearby that would welcome a gun show.

We venture into San Francisco ONLY when requested by out of state visitors, to sightsee - and spend the MINIMUM cash in the city...

Anything more than 200 meters out isn't considered close.

Less than 100 meters will scare the crap outta you.

Bwahahaahaaaa!

[Jeff Head]

I had one of my sons, two of his friends and one of my son-in-laws out on Saturday and we were plinking away at 300-400 meters in the hills here of Idaho with my FAL and an assortment of other long guns.

Those kids are getting to be dang good shots, hitting 2 1/2 gallon plastic pales regularly with open sites at 300+ meters.

A good time by all...and good training.

Is that over iron sights?

[Jeff Head]

Peep site.

The Cow Palace also holds raves. It also hosts the Exotic Erotic Halloween Ball, which features all kinds of S&M stuff and live sex, mostly heterosexual, BTW.

But no, only guns kill people, not ecstacy or STDs.
