Another sign of the incessant creeping in of eurosocialist attitudes here in the United States thanks to Obama, Pelosi & Reid.

Let's pretend that you've never walked into a bank in a high-crime area. You should then be surprised that you are not allowed to wear the hood of your sweatshirt over your head.

Still planning on collecting that huge settlement because you were protecting your God-given right to wear what you want?

So glad my Virginia passport isn't recognized by Neew Yawk so I can't go there even if I wanted too ;)

BTW.... Congratulations Bob!

Wachovia banks in Virginia once posted those signs (maybe they still do—I’m not one of their customers understandably). And woe and behold, guess what bank often had its branches robbed wherein other banks did not?

Bank robbers can read.

Bet that lock box in your car gets a work out every time you go to any of those places you described. Actually, the glove compartment for me.

I understand your frustration. I respect private property rights as much as I do the Second Amendment. Now the public grounds, I agree with you.

Guns and banks don’t really mix very well . . . just sayin’.

There are many out here in Oregon who would dispute you on that...

May be I really am living in the land of the free.

Murderous, criminal, low-life thugs love "gun free zones." Especially due to the fact that tender female victims, being unarmed, lack the means to resist said thugs' "special attention." Just sayin'.

My .45 mostly lives on the front seat of my truck. However, there are a few times I go cocked and locked, and the bank is always one of those occasions.

Restricting the freedom to bear firearms? Isn’t that a sort of Dane-ish practice?

Don't know what you mean by it, but if I own a private enterprise, and choose to do just that, then someone else is welcome to open a competing enterprise next door doing the opposite.

But we are beginning to stray from my original observation, which when I made it, I suspected it would bring out the More Conservative Than You™ brigade.

And again, from my original perspective, so do the (gun-carrying) security guards I know.
