The Rockford Files - Episode: The Battle of Canoga Park (1977) Burbank Kawaski Dealer/Store 1329 North Hollywood Way Burbank CA

June 2021
This motorcycle sales location is now a Nexus Auto Group dealer
The motorcycles are long gone!





The rooftop sign for this motorcycle dealership is hidden behind the red, white and blue banner. They covered the name of Burbank Kawasaki because this episode was suppose to be about trouble in Canoga Park and not Burbank, CA.

That era of 1975 to 19777 so much of the country was decorated with that red, white and blue styling for the American bicentennial. Memories.

In this episode Rockford argues that because specific types of weapons aren't itemized in the second amendment that the constitution doesn't protect the right to keep and bear them. Except it's the opposite and he's wrong. The bill of rights says government can't pass any law restricting individual ownership of weapons at all. Too bad they had to include stupid late 70s liberal politics this episode. It's a rare misstep.

Actually, the Anonymous post from September 16, 2014 is wrong. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that gun ownership is NOT unlimited, and that restrictions CAN be placed on gun ownership.

The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights also mentions a militia, something many conveniently overlook. "A well regulated Militia..." is how it begins, and everything that follows is dependent upon that opening statement. Want a gun? Join a militia.

I don't think the framers of the Constitution had dynamite in mind when they were thinking of armed militiamen.

It looks like the actual the address as of June 2021 is correct, but the picture shown is actually the back of the building which is located on North Edison Boulevard.

The link shown below is the front of the building as shown on the show. Notice the windows on the upper story in the correct position.

rockford files is a big favorite of mine, my dad worked the set for this series, so it means alot to me, but james garner was a super liberal and i am at odds with his political views, as i see them as very un-American !
