Northwest Indiana Gun Owners # 25 good morning all.

Someone "transitioning" is not the same as "transitioning" a child.

And while they CAN, I don't have to muzzle myself

At a bank (not mine) cashier pointed at holster and whispered, "You're not supposed to have that".

I looked at it, then her, and said "an empty piece of leather?"

"Oh. I thought it had a gun".
"We have a sign."

I told her I know.
And since it's not my personal account, I keep coming.
But if it was my personal account, I'd pull my money out.
But, my bank doesn't care. And the ladies have voiced feeling safer.
Just like they USED to say here.

"Oh. I thought it had a gun".
"We have a sigh."

I told her I know.
And since it's not my personal account, I keep coming.
But if it was personal, I'd pull my money out.

What bank was that? Never had an issue in any of the banks I go to

A touching story for Jedi.

Friends helping friends as the po-po come to rescue a member of the raccoon army that got a jar stuck on its head.

Been a lot safer to just shoot the jar or smack it with a bat. No chance of getting bit, then just sweep up the glass!

OK, she whispered to you. She thought you had a gun right there and she whispered. She didn't yell anything, she didn't scream, she didn't pull the fire alarm, she didn't overreact at all.
She discreetly pointed out the rules she has to follow - doesn't mean she made those rules. That sure could have been worse. I'd give her a little credit for that.

Maybe his head wasn't really stuck. They need to hold the jar underwater for a few minutes to tell if he was faking it.

Is it even possible for you to express your opinion without demeaning those who disagree with you?

I'm open carried into banks many times. First Midwest branch in St John (which is now renamed Old National). Once, and only once, a teller said it made her uncomfortable because she had a gun pointed at her. I'm a regular, they know me. I simply told her that she didn't have to worry about that happening while I was in the bank because criminals generally don't rob banks when there are armed people. Told her she is safer with me and my gun than when I'm not there. She went silent after that.

Ughh... What's the point then...?

The "ignore" feature took this thread from good to really good.

Gosh, I don't know... civilized conversation?

I'm at First Midwest also (for my personal account)

Years ago, the first time I was the Finance Officer, I would carry my model 19 S&W revolver.
Kinda big.

One of the cashiers noticed it when she was walking out from the counter, and asked why I carried a gun.
Like.. I just deposited over $6,000 in cash.
That's a good reason.
And, I can't carry a cop.

But then one of the cashiers laughed and said, "Why do you think we call him 'man with a gun'"?
Well, the first cashier was very short, and never saw it.

But I had been there for years, and the cashiers didn't care.


Now... not so much.

but, like I said, if it were my personal account, I would have already changed banks.

I OC in them, the same as I do other places.

I just don't care.
I used to CC everywhere.
And then I realized, I just didn't care about what people thought, so why am I dressing around worrying what they say.


And then, I found out how comfortable it is, and if I do CC, it is uncomfortable as all he((
