Quote HistoryQuoted:
I wonder if they would be criminally charged today for taking action like Open Carrying guns on their businesses. §26350 Long guns and handguns may be openly carried in unincorporated rural areas where firearm discharge is not prohibited by local ordinance. In a county with a population of less than 200,000 residents, a permit to carry a handgun "loaded and exposed" may be issued by the county sheriff, valid only in the issuing county. A person may also open carry if he or she "reasonably believes that any person or the property of any person is in immediate, grave danger and that the carrying of the weapon is necessary for the preservation of that person or property." In 2012, the California State Assembly decided to take a tougher stand against the carrying of firearms in public. Prior to then, it had been legal for anyone (aside from those prohibited by prior felony conviction) to carry an unloaded weapon in public, provided that the weapon was not concealed. However, as of January 1, 2012, according to California open carry laws under California Penal Code 26350 PC, it is a crime to openly carry any firearm in public, even if the gun is unloaded. California Penal Code 26350 PC Explained Under California Penal Code 26350 PC, you are guilty of violating California open carry laws when you: ?Carry on your person an exposed and unloaded handgun outside a vehicle while in or on any of the following: ?A public place or public street in an incorporated city or city and county; ?A public street in a prohibited area of an unincorporated area of a county or city and county; or ?A public place in a prohibited area of a county or city and county. ?Carry an exposed and unloaded handgun inside or on a vehicle, whether or not on your person, while in or on any of the following: ?A public place or public street in an incorporated city or city and county; ?A public street in a prohibited area of an unincorporated area of a county or city and county; or ?A public place in a prohibited area of a county or city and county. 364 days in jail or $1000.00 fine

I worked in a gun store in Utah in college during that time in Orem/Provo. Sales were brisk and commissions good. ??
How did the 92 LA riots compare to those of the 70s in LA and Detroit? I was too young to be aware of those at the time. |

A Korean guy owned the corner store in my old neighborhood. Some little Mexican guy came in one night and pointed a shotgun at him across the counter. Korean guy snatched it right out of his hands and pointed it back at him.
He coulda had a free shotgun, but being a law-abiding guy, he called the cops and they took it. Quiet, hardworking guy. I think of him every time I hear about the LA riots and rooftop Koreans. |

"Mother fuck you!" Yo, yo, check it out So don't follow me up and down your market Or your little chop suey ass'll be a target Of the nationwide boycott Juice with the people, that's what the boy got So pay respect to the black fist Or we'll burn your store right down to a crisp And then we'll see ya Cause you can't turn the ghetto into black Korea "Mother fuck you!" |

That was an excellent post! Brought me back to my days as a kid living on the edge of Korea town during the riots! It's my exposure to those riots that changed my mind on the 2A and the inherent right to self-defense forever.
Many Asian communities in Los Angeles were recently on the news for protesting plans to build homeless shelters in their AOs. Many are conservative, but usually non-vocal.. |

Those roof top Koreans are mostly gone now and second generation Koreans are the majority. There aren't many conservative Republican voting Koreans anymore as the second generation wants to fit in to the mainstream American culture. Bunch of pansies with inferiority complex trying to be white American by being even more white than whites. Fucken bananas!

Frantic, hysterically crying friends and family asking me to come rescue them or bring them ANYTHING better than maybe the baseball-bat or steak knife they were armed with at the time. ALL of them left LA and most, the entire State of California after the riots. It was a real eye opener....... |

Twice in my life, violent riots came out of that Democrat controlled area of Los Angeles....The Watts Riots, and the Rodney King Riots.
I remember watching the Watts Riots on television, as a kid, and as an adult, the Rodney King Riots. When the tv showed those Koreans coming out with firearms to protect their neighborhood, I cheered, and yelled "that is what the Second Amendment is all about!!! I also remember an aerial view of the Koreans, and some news woman, off camera, stating "I wonder if those guns are registered". If she was personally in the middle of the riots, and went into Koreatown, I seriously that she would feel that she was in danger from those Korean store owners. In the 80's, I worked in the San Pedro harbor, with MANY Koreans. Only met one that was described as being lazy....quite the opposite with those of Mexican heritage! LA police chief, Brad Gates, after he retired, had a radio show on either KFI or KABC. I remember that he stated that over 60% of those arrested during the riots, were illegals! I sarcastically stated "that they were obviously showing their thankfulness for being able to work in the US." |

My Dad was not into guns, but had a few harry situations so he did buy a snub nosed 38spc. I was 16 at the time.

One thing we should learn from the roof top Koreans is that the only way to succeed in a situation like that is by banding together with other like minded people. If one Korean got up on his store roof and shot rioters he would have been arrested either during the riot or afterwards to make an example out of him. It was because so many came together that those in charge couldn't make examples out of them all. |

Before the riots there were tensions between the black and Korean communities due to the Koreans being relative newcomers yet being highly successful and owning many businesses in black neighborhoods. And this really didn't help: The surveillance video is pretty damning - Harlins had money and was attempting to pay. When Du screamed at her to leave, she turned to go, then Du shot her in the back of the head. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Are even half of those guns California legal today? Next time the rioters will be better armed. I remember this black guy yelling at people because his corner store got burned down. It was not a franchise business, he owned it and black rioters burned it down. It was sad. The store was his life, means of income and all. He was in his 50s or 60s. Not sure what happened to him. Koreans came to American and immediately started to build wealth through hard work. Black and Hispanic/Latinos were majority welfare recipients and Democrat voters. Koreans were Republican. And this really didn't help: On March 16, 1991, a year prior to the Los Angeles riots, storekeeper Soon Ja Du physically confronted black ninth-grader Latasha Harlins, grabbing her sweater and backpack when she suspected she had been trying to steal a bottle of orange juice from Empire Liquor, the store Du's family owned in Compton. After Latasha hit Du, she shot her in the back of the head, killing her. (Security tape showed the girl, already dead, was clutching $2 in her hand when investigators arrived.) Du was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and forced to pay a fine of $500, but not sentenced to any prison time |

Same with me. Profoundly changed my mind. The frustration and anger and powerlessness of just sitting at home, watching the news, watching where the rioters were going, hearing the sirens. So scary. When we saw those Roof Koreans on TV, I thought, "GOOD FOR THEM!" Yes. The liberals don't know what to do... to condemn the Asians would be racist, but the Asians aren't inclined to see their neighborhoods ruined by out-of-control homeless. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's funny seeing the conundrum the liberals face with the homeless situation and the Asian communities uncharacteristically coming out in force to protest and protect their neighborhoods. To credit the Asian communities, they've incorporated a very PC message in their resistance unlike the traditional GD Molon Lobe/Don't Tread On Me stance  Again shows the tactical patience and understanding of the environment that the Asian communities tend to have down well.. lessons from the riots.

That guy’s store probably didn’t get rebuilt for quite a while. I left Cali four months after the riots ended and violent gangs of locals were still chasing out any contractors who dared enter those neighborhoods to rebuild. They demanded only black construction workers be allowed in, but when construction companies tried to hire locals they all refused to work. They burnt down their own neighborhoods then threatened to kill anybody who tried to rebuild it. All the while crying about their neighborhood being destroyed. It was idiotic. But...no lines at Disney or Six Flags and Angel’s Stadium was darn near empty. My first official date with my wife was an Angels/Dodgers Freeway Series game. It was a great time to be a tourist.

His trust (even though I had developed quite an attitude problem by then) and also his absolute belief that you look out for yourself and your own family, because no one else will.
