Small-business owners have been hit particularly hard by additional security and repair costs

Thieves smashed a display window and broke down a door to steal items as small as spray paint, and people shattered glass doors on two occasions for no apparent reason.

When the thieves are shutting down small-business owners and chasing the larger chains out of the city altogether, what they’re doing is no longer really “petty”.

Some are getting exactly what they voted for.
Those who aren’t need to vote with their feet.

Is it legal for a business owner to carry in California? Sorry, sometimes I crack myself up.

Sorry, but it’s not the “petty thieves” who are the plague. The plague are those corrupt elected officials who have deliberately allowed this behavior to continue unpunished in the name of their misguided notion of “compassion”.

If you ever watch a Grady Judd press conference (he is the Sheriff of Polk County FL) his DA charges organized shop lifters with RICO charges.

Their’s is the polar opposite of the “broken windows” theory of law enforcement used so successfully by Giuliani to return New York City to some semblance of civility. And with predictable consequences for San Francisco.

Completely depends on the county and its sheriff. Some counties getting a carry permit is painless and in others virtually impossible. According to some sources the City & County of San Francisco with a population of 850,000 has 2 permit holders but on the bright side there are 4 permits ‘pending’.

$25.00 dollars a pelt will fix it pretty quick.
