I'm working at a bank right now as a Teller. A couple of weeks ago, a man came into our branch open carrying. I didn't even notice it, but I heard about it after he left; the other Tellers were freaking out at the sight of his pistol, even though he had done nothing wrong. We were talking about it after he left; they suggested that he was stupid, that he was breaking the law, etc. I said I believed that there was no law prohibiting guns in banks. The other Tellers disagreed, even if they were not able to quote any such law. This sort of resulted in a stalemate. They weren't able to point me to any law to prove that they were right, and I wasn't about to comb through every law to prove that there wasn't a law against it.
Nikoteo,
I see that you are in Evansville. I went to a new bank on April 23. It was a branch of the Newburgh bank on Covert Ave. I was open carrying my Glock that morning. My investment guy had recently changed banks and I was coming to see him to transfer my accounts. When I came in, I asked for him by name, smiled at the receptionist, and then conducted my business. Then I went on to work.
My investment guy and I are good friends. We saw each other at a party that night. He told me that I had freaked out the tellers. Told him sorry that they were freaked, but it's not my problem. He knows I OC 90% of the time. We laughed and went on.
If this was your branch, I am sorry your tellers freaked. I don't intend to. I choose to exercise my 2A right to keep and bear arms. I do it legally and safely. Next time I am in the branch, I'll make a point to stop and say hi to the tellers and give them a big smile. I'm a nice guy but their discomfort does not negate my rights.
Just OC'ing as I go about town,
HobbyGuy
