Texas banker git's smart!

Long story, short: Texas bank president looked at the No CCW sign on his door and decides to make a change. He now allows and almost encourages legally permitted concealed weapons in his bank!

I thought it was a FEDERAL law that there are no guns allowed in banks? 

I really like the idea of business owners being able to make the decision if concealed carry is allowed or not, not some senator or other know-nothing legislator.  They will either be rewarded with more business or punished with less, depending on the client?le.

Texas,  I'm guessing he will be rewarded with more business.  Good point about the Federal law thing, I thought that as well.

The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

There is NO Federal law prohibiting the carrying of legal possessed/legally carried firearm in a bank.  State laws will vary.
