A lot of people assume the same. A couple years ago I walked into the Washington mutual in Lake Stevens passing a Snohomish county deputy standing behind a bush about thirty feet from the entrance. Seeing him perked my attention but it wasn't until I walked into the branch and saw everyone behind the counter and one man standing at the tellers booth that the alarm bells really started ringing. I immediately turned and walked back out the door I had come in through seemingly without the man at the counter noticing that I had ever entered. I was immediately grabbed by a deputy who had taken up a position by the door and hustled to a patrol car they told me the silent alarm had been tripped and proceeded to grill me about what I had seen in the bank. I didn't think about it until later but they had watched me walk right into the middle of what was presumably a robbery and hadn't tried to stop me:banghead::uhoh:
Anyway, all that to say I never even think about going into a bank unless I am throughly armed. Same goes for convenience stores and ATM's
