I was in Chatsworth (a couple miles from Northridge for those unfamiliar with the area). No gunfire either, but there was HEAVY looting the first night and it continued thereafter. Looters were targeting the stores that had collapsed (some people who worked there had organized 5 minute "grab what you can" at the supermarkets for those who didnt have anything stored) and at night it was a free-for-all. Once houses were red-tagged, those became targets too.
We were all armed and our street kept people outside on the look-out as people did start coming into the neighborhood who didnt belong there looking for "targets".
So...as I agree no gun fire was ever heard, had things continued much longer, I don't agree that it would have lasted.
