Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

City College is Unsafe - FBI Director
The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, ruling that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, will make college campuses more dangerous places. At least that's what Robert Mueller, Director of the FBI believes.

Mueller said communities will have to determine their own license programs. As a former Marine who served in Vietnam, he said "I tend to believe weapons harm people and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."
Mueller said college campuses could be "potential incubators of terrorism" and warned this is a major concern of the FBI.
City College of San Francisco (CCSF) is one of the nation's largest community colleges with more than 100,000 students on it campuses scattered throughout the City.
The CCSF Police carry no weapons. In event of a serious crime, the most they can do is throw rocks and call the SFPD. This is the current insane policy at City College.
Anyone who thinks none of the 100,000-plus CCSF students carry guns to school is mistaken. There are more guns at CCSF than there are at an NRA convention. Like it or not - it's fact!
Students at City College go about their day with literally zero protection against violence. It is a disastrous policy. I can only hope the Board of Trustees come to their senses before someone is killed.
By the way ... Carl Koehler, who resigned as CCSF Chief of Police over the policy, is an ideal choice for the CCSF Board of Trustees. We could use some good people on that board.
If you would like to voice your opinion to the Board of Trustees, you will find the necessary information at thisCCSF website.
