I’ve lived here (SF)for almost 20yrs and I have yet to see anyone open carry here unless they’re trying to make some political statement. Sure it could be that I just don’t see all the people that are carrying concealed but I do think there is much less of a gun carry culture here. As for ownership I know of one neighbor that has guns. I’m sure there are probably more but I imagine they’re kept mainly for recreational not defensive purposes much like how people kept guns in the small town I grew up in in Oregon before the whole “patriotic” gun toter culture became a thing.
