The cultural community pockets in any city -- the people there usually clawed their way to what they achieved, with plenty of blood and sweat shed along the way.
- What would your defensive battery have been in 1992 Los Angeles? (Bare in mind most of the draconian, anti-2A BS laws in Californication weren't in place back then.)
- If you are an urban business owner or employee, what would it be now and why?
WOW! But was that considered expensive to you or many? I do not know the value of the 1989 dollar.
That last picture is just....WOW!!!
In 1992, I was a child and oblivious to this situation.
I question, for anyone who remembers that time, the listed prices on the flyer, was that considered expensive then?I was 19 -20yrs old in 92. My miserable job paid me about $35-40 a day . Junk cars could be had for $200 .WOW! But was that considered expensive to you or many? I do not know the value of the 1989 dollar.
$10 worth of fast food was a pile for 1 person.
Pack of gum was a quarter.
Today ,in my area, my miserable job pays me $200-250 a day. Junk cars are a gamble at $1200 . $10 buys my coffee( I like to tip decent).
Pack of gum is routinely over a dollar.
Back during the summer months I read this article and stumbled across it again. It is photographs of Korean—Americans defending their business establishments during the 1992 Los Angeles riots which, naturally, was one of the most destructive civil disturbances in US history. Anyway, I thought others might find it interesting, so am passing it along: The Guns of the L.A. Riots.
Some of the interesting pictures:

Questions, one for fun, one for more realistic preparedness:

My neighbors (Korean) owned a liquor store . Shot the punks with buckshot and the cops just called a van to haul away the bodies! Never took a report!Back during the summer months I read this article and stumbled across it again.

Back in '89 I bought a NIB Polytech side-folder AK-47 for $250 out the door from an FFL.
So I worked in SoCal back then and many from our department were shipped up there during the riots. I missed the opportunity since they started over my days off and they had not (yet) cancelled time off. As soon as I went back those few of us remaining were 12 on 12 off for a while while our partners were up in the City of Angels playing. Heard many stories from my compadres about what a mess it was.
As to the OP, many stated pretty much what I did have in the trunk, Colt AR SP1, Rem 870 and a Colt 1911 in 38 Super.
O, man, I have been looking for this film! What is the name of, or who is the actor so I can search it?Whatever I had(uzi, tec 9 ,sawed off shotgun handonthepump) , I'd definitely want a quality US surplus duffel bag for on foot edc.
Think about it!!

Even piston ARs have that buffer tube thing, too, unfortunately. Hurry up PSA, bring on the JAKL!!!!!1) "What would your defensive battery have been in 1992 Los Angeles?"
We lived in Long Beach during the Greater LA County Inter-Ethnic Burn and Loot Festival of May 1992.
My go-to pieces were a 12 ga auto shotgun and an SKS. Not due to The DPRK's legal labyrinth, just what I had at the time.
2) "Wish those ammo prices would return."
Calculating for inflation:
Daewoo Rifle
$339.00 = 629.13
$299.00 = 554.93
Yup, thats a smokin' deal for such a fine rifle
Ammo
$110 = $204.15
" I do not know the value of the 1989 dollar."
$1.00 (1989) = $2.10 (2020)
3) " I wouldn't rule out a cross bow. Silence is golden."
If you're dealing with a mob a Chinese repeating crossbow would be the thing.
4) "Do You Woo?"
The Woo is the most unappreciated EBR that ever was: the best features for the AR, AK, and FAL platforms with H&K iron sight picture all rolled into one great package with no buffer hanging out the back. Accurate, robust, reliable. All the people who like a piston AR will find their rifle in the Woo.
