I guess it's warranted... SIX - yes - SIX bank robberies in my town in less than six months! Eight banks robbed here this year so far. I kid you not. My wife's CU robbed twice in two months...lots of banks in my town and NOT ONE security guard at any bank, for as long as I can remember. The keystone cops here (with the help of the FBI) have finally caught three of the perps this week. I have an uneasy feeling now if I go anywhere near a bank to crh or do any kind of banking business, it's totally out of hand here, just crazy!

I am not anti-gun, but I only see that as a liability.

That's one way to view it. I respect that view. Another way to view a firearm is that of a life-saving rescue tool. I am authorized to carry concealed. I carry daily. If I was in the bank while it was getting robbed, I would most likely be an armed eyewitness. However, I would be looking for cover, trying to move however I can to improve the "background", looking for lay-off crooks, etc. Carrying does not necessarily equate with using. At the risk of hijacking the thread, here is an interesting read on the subject:

Well said, Some people are comfortable being victims, I choose not to be.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. In this country, criminals have more rights than victims. I choose not to spend the rest of my life in prison for simply defending myself.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
