For example, banks are something that in this day and age you simply have to have. But if I need to go into one, to open an account, I may be faced with one, or all of them prohibiting my firearm. This is where I think that we get into public policy kind of stuff, as it is widely recognized that you need a bank account in a modern society. And nearly 100% of the time you are going to have to go inside and present your ID and sign the forms. So why then should any bank then be allowed to prohibit carry, especially given that bank robbery happens and clearly I am on my own in protecting myself. Why must I be compelled to forgo my constitutional right simply because for some vague reason someone has decided that my gun should not be there? Given the standing of property rights and from where that flows, what evidence is there that my exercising my constitutional right negatively impacts the bank as a property owner?
Just as an FYI, not all banks are alike. My bank and my wife's credit union both welcome carrying by CHLs.
