Now to me until this state gets as relaxed as Arizona or Idaho I think OC in banks can be asking for trouble. I know, I'm being a chicken or coward, blah blah blah. Now that I've premptivly struck at the insults lets get to brass tacks.
Stopped at a Wells Fargo branch in Seattle to ask about some overdraft fees I couldn't explain.I had my P89underneath my carhart coat. The manager was VERY friendly in regards to my issue, reversed some fees and did some other nice things for me. While he was doing stuff I asked him how WF felt about carrying a pistol on their premises as I had never seen any signs or statements. He said if the state has given a CPL that Wells Fargo won't argue with it. He then went on to say that if my pistol was visible or "fell out" that there would be a lot of people freaking out and a bunch of trouble with cops, etc... Earlier he had mentioned he was from California, so I broke the news to him that anyone in this state with $60 who could legally own a gun could get a CPL without a reason. That kinda surprised him. I did not get into OC as he had already made it plain what the reaction would be...
With this weather I haven't bee doing much OC, but don't take much effort to hide it either, the carhart is plety long to do a good job even unzipped.
So the question is how do people feel about OC in banks? Right now, the way I see it is unless the bank is really hip to the notion, all the tellers don't freak out (remember people in banks are often trained to be alarmed at a visible weapon) and all the customers don't start freaking I think it would be fine. I don't see that happening yet. So to disappoint all the hardcore OCers, yes this is one more place I cover up.
