It is amazing the crap instructors out there still sellingto their students.
They do it because there is no "Standard" for instruction in the field of Firearms Training and they continue because nobody has sued their shorts off for providing faulty information.
Most instructors teach what they "feel" is the law rather than taking time to learn what it actually is. I ask "Just how many instructors that are currently teaching in Washington State know that Open Carry is legal. I know of three that actually tell their students it is illegal and falls under RCW 9.41.270.
As for Banks, one might use a little judgement if they choose to open carry. Maybe only do so where you are KNOWN as a customer and make sure that none of your actions can be misunderstood.
