There are no laws against carrying in a bank, I do it all the time.ps- i DO get VERY nervouse when i check out though, there is a bank in the smiths that seems to be positioned directly at the entrance. Am I still cool to OC if there is a Bank in the Grocery store?
One of the times without Sarge, just me and the kids I had an older couple just stare and seemed to be following me or (watching me). They kept there distance, maybe I should have went up to them and talked to them. :shock: There is always next time!:quirkyMy wife and I have openly carried in the Spanish fork Macey's without incident.
And it is MACEY'S! NOT MACY'S! Two different stores.Ok, I have not been to a MACY's,
Didn't make it to the Macey's today here in Tooele, but I did go to Walmart... got a few oogles, but nothing dramatic. Not even a word was spoken to me. So for my first OC event, it was rather eventless.

I'm fairly amazed that anyone would engage in any conduct involving a firearm that he did not KNOW, with certainty, was legal.ps- i DO get VERY nervouse when i check out though, there is a bank in the smiths that seems to be positioned directly at the entrance.

GooD Luck.
Mr Utbagpiper made a comment that has not kept me in the dark from Oc'ing, but rather chose NOT to OC because I was uninformed.
" Friends, Oc'ing is not a game....No disrespect intended, but please, THINK about the consequences of your actions. "
That scenario played over and over in my head, cause I honestly thought for some reason that it was illegal to carry a firearm into a bank. Glad to know I was wrong all along, but made the right choice ( in my mind ) to not test it without prior knowledge.
The incident essentially occurred like this: Rob went out on the lake with his daughter and two other adults, launching his boat from a public ramp. The murderer apparently waited all day at the ramp for Rob to return. The murderer approached, there was an altercation of sorts, and he fired two rounds from a .44 Magnum Ruger Redhawk and then walked in and did a contact shot to Rob’s head.

gunfight rule number one as being “Bring a gun.” Owning a gun doesn’t make you safe.

It is true though that many shooters do not carry a gun everyday. There are certainly reasons not too, but I cannot think of one reason that is worth dieing over. Rob would have been carrying illegally. Was that why he wasn’t armed?

you are very likely to think carrying your gun is a burden, will get you in trouble, or won’t be needed.
What good is a fireman without water? All of that knowledge and skill goes to waste as the building burns in front of him. Guns are like fire extinguishers. You hope you never need one, but when you do you want the biggest damn fire extinguisher you can pick up.
I have lost sleep over this. I have cried over this. I have gotten angry over this. How do I reach people? How do I motivate them enough to save their own life?

A good man is dead.
Be alert. Be armed.
Not sure which side of this isle I stand on, but here's another point of view from Tactical Response instructor James Yeager: http://www.tacticalresponse.com/d/node/169

Yet again, I will emphasize the need to KNOW the law. Then, if someone makes an informed choice to discretely and completely peacefully violate an unenforced gun ban (really bad idea trying to go through a metal detector or pat down while illegally carrying) in some location, I will leave that between himself, his conscious, and if found out what I hope would be a fully informed jury. That said, I would never count on a jury in this day and age nullifying a gun ban.While I don't advocate breaking the law, I will say that if you are unsure of the law it is best to have a CC permit so that even if you do choose to continue carrying in an area you are not sure about, you can switch to CC and avoid trouble.
