Omaha Barber shop shooting...

Thanks SFG, it is funny my daughter was the tough one who kept her cool and did what the robbers wanted.
Had a gun pointed right at her, I am proud of how she reacted.
The bank did change the entry system so now customers get buzzed in after they remove their hats and masks!!
She has always been situationally aware, this experience has changed her some and maybe made her more cautious.

If I remember correctly, authorized bank security can be armed but no one else.

True.
When I taught the Handgun Identification Card (Open Carry Permit) classes at National Safety Council, we had quite a few uniformed security guards attend the classes so that they could openly carry holstered handguns at Omaha banks and elsewhere. Couriers and armored car personnel who enter Omaha banks with exposed holstered handguns must have Omaha open carry permits.
And statewide, bank management can authorize their employees w/concealed carry permits to carry concealed within bank premises.
Banks generally abhor guns and seem to have a standard policy of handing over the money politely, then (a) pushing the alarm button and (b) calling the insurance company.

According to an episode of The FBI FIle I watched its better to rob armored cars. Which I think makes sense. A bank has its money, an armored car is transporting money from multiple banks. Of course it requires more people to rob armored cars so more to split the money with.
The series also claims most bank robbers don't actually brandish their guns and take the employees and customers hostage like they do on TV. Most just hand over a note with "this is a robbery" written on it. And may not actually show a weapon. And yes, most bank tellers just hand over the money, cause according to the narration they're taught to cooperate to avoid anybody getting hurt,
Both The FBI Files and The Forensic Files keep having their narrators say "pistol" then they show a revolver. I keep expecting them to say "rifle" and show a shotgun. But I haven't seen that yet.
