I carry in banks in GA all the time. I have never encountered resistance to this day. I have OC'd in a bank when a Cop was making a deposit. He just looked at me and smiled and walked off. But then I was screaming military. With my short hair cut, my old brown ball cap with dirt from a Kuwait dust storm on it, and my brown command PT shirt hah.

She will not need him there. All she has to do is to sneak up behind the robber and shout, "You can't have a gun in here". Of course, the robber will politely say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that", leave and go rob someplace which allows guns. Or if he doesn't comply with her request, pull out her cell phone, point it at the robber and say, "leave or I'll call the police."

I sometimes carry to my bank, but the amount of money I carry has no impact on that. I do not carry to protect my money, and in fact if I could give my money to a robber and that would end it, I would do so.
Of course no one can know that for sure, but if I were in the bank and it was robbed I would not intervene unless I had good reason to think that the robber was going to shoot or seriously injure someone.

Preventing bank robberies is not part of my "charter."

I agree with you. Money is not worth human life. Although a bank robbers life isnt worth much to begin with. The moral issue behind that is...

What if the bank robber who shown no intention of shooting anyone during the robbery goes and buys some meth with some his new found wealth and decided to off a person walking down the street for fun. Does your outlook on using deadly force during the bank robbery change now?

No way to answer that I guess, just food for the good ole' think tank.

If someone is committing armed robbery on me, I am in reasonable fear for my life and deadly force is justified. The only decision is whether I think I have a better chance of survival by shooting or complying.

Is not T.D. a Canadian Bank? Toronto Dominion? There is your answer right there!

Yes it is. And it's been noted in this thread. We don't know if Ms Manager is a transplanted Canadian. As an American living in Canada, I can tell you that the whole country is like New Jersey up here.

Here's a story. When I crossed the border into Canada, I had to declare my Glock and show my licence, the gun registration, the paper that gives me permission to transport my gun, unloaded, trigger locked and case locked--in the trunk--with ammo separate--from the border to my residence. (I'm not kidding.)

The CBSA guy looked at me and said, "You're not going to shoot me, are you?" This was a joke.

When he saw my holster on the seat next to me, he stared. I said, I carry concealed in the U.S. I'm a U.S. citizen. "Oh, he said, I was wondering why a Canadian would want to carry a gun." This was not a joke.

At the secondary, the CBSA folk gathered around and it became a class. "Wow", one of them said. "I've never seen a hollow point."

This is the mentality most Canadians have.

No what he does with the money is between him and the law, and others. I do not see any responsibility to make sure he does not have the money for further crime.
