Then what? I figure the banks have done more damage to our country than other criminals so...

Yeah I would likely stop them but I still view banks as criminal organizations.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about taking action to protect the teller's life, not to protect the bank's money.

That has already been done, back in the late 30s and half of the 40s, on both sides of the equation - the armed and unarmed.

I tried to be not-obvious about that. Kind of hoped most folks would relate more to those colored jerseys school kids are made to wear in PE class to designate which team they are assigned to.

But thanks for noticing. Be sure to pick up a lovely parting gift on your way out.:D

stay safe.

i know 100's of gun people

to include scores of IPSC and IDPA competitors. know how many I'd trust to walk alongside me, with their pistols out and ready? I can count them on my fingers, dude. However, it is a VERY bad precedent to allow "presumptive' charges/thoughts, when no actual criminal activity has occurred, so we are stuck with allowing inept, cowardly fools to carry, along with the 1 in 1000 guy who really does know what he's doing with that pistol.

All I gotta say is wow!!

Some people may be well-schooled in HOW to use a firearm, but, after reading what they write, I really worry about WHEN they will use the firearm. I don't want to be anywhere near someone who can use the firearm well, but can't think his way out of a paper bag with six open ends.

My initial (gut) reaction was to agree with you. Then I got to thinking, always dangerous according to my DW by the way, I'm just not into that whole mandate people to do 'X' thing.

YMMV :D

Yep, and it still is all conditional on the circumstances.
