    Wow, some of you guys need some serious help.

    #1. A bank is NOT a "gov't" anything, so that has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.

    #2. Most banks that I've walked into have clearly posted signs at the door that say they don't want you in there with any weapons. BTW, so does Wal-Mart. True, technically the worst that can happen is they ask you to leave, but why take a chance? If you're running in for a sec and don't look like some thug, then that may be one thing. If you'll be in there for a long time and make people feel uncomfortable, you're running a chance IMO. 50/50 chance.

    #3. Any private business can ask you not to patron there for any reason just about. It is a misconception that you have to have all these warnings or considerations. If they tell you to go, you gotta otherwise you're trespassing. Very black and white in the law.

    With all that said, if you don't act like a fool then 99% of the time you'll go unnoticed and unbothered. Act like a grown human and you'll stay away from trouble. Half of you that have met me face-to-face never even realized that I had atleast one weapon on me 99.9% of the time.

    The element of surprise is a powerful ally. Remember that. The element of using your noodle is an even more powerful one. Remember that too.

    That would be why it is concealed and not out in the open. Anyone who carries in the open is not too bright IMO and is looking for trouble. The bank wouldn't even know I had one.


    The only time I carry out in the open is from my vehicle to my house and that is only because it would be a waiste of time to conceal it just to take it back out again once inside.

    Also, just because a place has a sign that says "firearms not permitted" or whatever doesn't mean you can't enter with a concealed weapon. You just have to leave if asked. I can't even count the number of times I have been in Walmart with a concealed weapon.
