Hey Wes,
Guess you were paying attention more than I was, I just heard the last of the broadcast and thought it was the Board of Stupidliars...it was a voter referendum huh? More like a referendumb! People are just plain stupid. There's been a rash of gangland murders, do people really think that gangsters are going to turn in their guns? If it's pointed your way do you call 911? To paraphrase Bugs Bunny, "What a bunch of moroons!" Guess they haven't heard about NYC and DC and Australia and Great Britain and their soaring gun violence since guns were outlawed. So there's only one gun store left in SF now? Damn! One of the oldest stores (where I bought my Taurus 9mm) decided to call it quits a few years back, a great loss. That was one of the biggest and best gun stores I've ever been in. There's always the pawn shops though, they got guns.
If I were you I would go over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and visit Muir Woods. You'll never forget the experience. This is a virgin redwood forest, one of the few left. Way more impressive than the works of man. It's like going to church. These are some of the oldest living things on this planet, many were around before Christ was born. Most of these forests are gone forever having long ago been clear cut by the lumber industry. It used to be solid forest from Santa Cruz to the Oregon border. Now at least the lumber companies are farming the trees instead of cutting 2,000 year old giants.
The best way to get around in San Francisco would be to take the BART train over and then use taxis to get around. Frisco is hell to drive in if you don't know your way around and they'll charge you exhorbitantly for parking everywhere. The parking tickets are really expensive and your rental car company will charge your credit card for them. The best cab company to call is Veterans or Arrow (same company, same dispatch) or just flag any empty you see. Take your rental car for the Muir Woods trip though or any trip outside of San Francisco. When I lived in San Francisco I didn't even own a car, used my motorcycle, took public transit or walked. When I needed a car I took a cab. When I went out of town I rode my motorcycle or rented a new car. Saved a lot of money on garage rent, insurance, parking tickets and upkeep that way!
Definitely recommend the cable cars, the natives ride 'em, they're part of the mass transit system. I never went out to Alcatraz, almost nobody who lives in SF has but tourists think it's a high point...suppose I've got to go there sometime. Chinatown is a place I went often and even now I go there to eat or shop when I'm in town. Bear in mind that Frisco is only 7 miles across with water on 3 sides, 49 square miles. You can walk from the Bay to the Pacific in a couple of hours. Golden Gate Park is a treasure but it takes a lot of time to explore. I used to walk there a lot with my dogs, still haven't seen it all.
