I was living in central FL when Andrew hit Miami. The honest people with guns were not raped, robbed or murdered.
Looters would cruise the ruins of neighborhoods and when they saw someone sitting on the remains of their home with a shotgun.....they did not stop.

I don’t recall any significant looting after Andrew. If anything the usual backdrop of Miami crime went down. Maybe it was because they didn’t know which house was armed. I do remember seeing signs saying looters would be shot.
My son lived in SW Miami during Andrew. Lost power for 2 weeks. He wore a .45 auto the whole time.
