The rationale behind these private property bans is rediculous. They claim its to ensure the safety of their employees and customers. Can you really imagine a hardcore criminal saying,"Well, I was gonna go in that bank, rob it and kill all the witnesses. But, I can't carry a gun in there, so I better not, I might get in trouble." Criminals don't follow the law, thats what makes them criminals. Do you really think they will follow the propety owners rules. Law abiding citizens carrying legally owned firearms could actually intervene and save lives in a violent encounter. Its best left to the police, but they aren't always there. My bank doesn't have anything posted about firearms, so I carry when I go in. As a matter of fact I have never seen any bank around my area post a no firearms sign. I'm sure its only a matter of time. There was a furniture store, Value City Furniture, that had such a sign, but they are out of business.
