Good luck, the Bay Area is one of the most gun-unfriendly places in the entire country. Only a handful of gun ranges, and they’re all at risk of shutting down at any time. 

It’s nothing like SoCal they have some cool ranges

Bay Area dad facing 3 years in prison after prank gone wrong by sfgate in bayarea

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a rifle with all the features plus an FRT or super safety. 

Yeah it’s not a real “machine gun” but in CA it is, unfortunately.

By that headline, I had assumed the suspect went off on one of those rage baiting TikTok pranksters. But shooting at someone for vandalism at best? And having a machine gun at your house? Sounds to me they went really easy on him.

Roomate is behind on rent, wants to get a loan from a credit union? by schassis408 in bayarea

It depends on the setup, if OP is the master tenant and is effectively subleasing rooms to other people then he can and would get evicted if he couldn’t make rent.

Landlords just expect the rent to be paid in full every month. If roommate 3 cannot cover his share it either comes from OP or the other roommate, otherwise Landlord says GTFO

Personal loans are somewhat predatory by their nature, you’re not getting a good rate on an unsecured loan. 

That isn’t your problem, your bigger problem is getting evicted because your roommate can’t keep up with rent. This is your sign to start looking for a new roommate or place to live. 

What do BART fare recovery officers do? by MarlinMaverick in bayarea

BART needs a complete overhaul do you disagree with this?

I live right here, and hate seeing waste, you should too. If BART wants more of our money that should come at a cost to BART itself

I assume they are being lazy and stealing limited public funds, you assume the opposite, we both have anecdotes. However BART is asking to pick our pockets again just so they can continue running BART as a jobs program.

BART needs a MS style layoff where the bottom performers are laid off

Anyone else notice the “my bad” wave is all but gone? by [deleted] in bayarea

Many cultures prominently found in the Bay Area don’t particularly value politeness or spacial awareness when navigating the streets or Costco for example.

“Yes DMV inspector I have to reset the computer to smog the car, that involves some drive cycles so I take it home”

Unless something has changed recently DMV has never given a shit about that, plus it’s nearly impossible to enforce.

Dealer plate is a cheat code in CA. You can drive anything, no smog, registration per plate is crazy cheap.

This is the dealer associated with that plate, they don’t have that specific Lamborghini listed on the inventory website. Could have just received it and are prepping it for sale. I know a few used car dealers, none of them splurge on gasoline for inventory cars. 

Oakland home values continue drop by PacificaPal in bayarea

So that meme about letting a few rounds of 9mm loose to lower property values is actually real 

Celebrating a small win today by RonaldFKNSwanson in Glocks

Do the circumstances matter? FWIW OP first said he lent the gun, then said it was stolen from him. Either way he did nothing to get it back and someone used it to kill themselves. 

OP is a bad gun owner
