Very interesting topic, I hope you keep us posted on the end result. I, too, would recommend a letter to the CEO. I have done that on a few occasions when I was PO'ed enough about something to actually feel like I needed to get some kind of resolution. It has never failed to get my issue addressed and rectified. I suspect that you will probably feel like changing banks after this is all over with, but it is certainly worth a letter to try.

If there were other customers in the bank the last thing I would do is try to embarrass a customer. If this was the case I would seriously consider her "people" skills for this type situation.

IMHO, what she should have done was waited until you had completed your banking. As you were walking away from the window she should have approached you and asked to speak with you in the office. There she could have more tactfully taken up the issue of your OC'ing your handgun into the bank.

but you're a bad guyyyyyyyy, why would she take u in her officeeeeeee lol

If you have startup money for an ammunition and bullet import business, there may be a place for you in Ohio.

The OP is well within his rights to OC and I beleive he did the right thing. The AG of NH made it very clear to all LE agencies not a short time ago that OC is 100% legal and justified in this state. The CoP suggestion to "conceal" his handgun should be taken as nothing more than that. As far as having a sign that says "No Guns" at the entrance, it doesn't matter. A sign holds no weight of law in NH. The only thing that can be done from a buisness standpoint is to ask the person to leave. If you do not, then you run afoul of the law.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I did not know that and tend to think about things from an Ohioan point of view. I'm really just to lazy to look up the other states, so thank you for that insight.

In Missouri, any business can post a sign banning weapons on their premises; and it is binding.

Most banks have this type of signage on all their entrances.

email sent. Told her, courteously of course, that they wouldn't get my business nor would any of their affiliates get my business.

Next time make sure you are available when there is a bank robbery and she and you are both victims.

When she has a gun pointed to her head. Ask her " Now do you wish you hadnt demanded I disarm?"
