Just an update. I went in to the branch on Friday afternoon. Cecile was in the lobby and I thought there would be an issue, as I was open carrying again. She was pleasant and courteous - no confrontation. She even said "good to see you here again"...

I suspect the phone calls, emails, and letters worked.

Thank you to those who supported the cause.

that is a good thing. I glad it worked out.

I hope the business you work for has some "strong numbers" in terms of business with that bank. If that's the case, upper management with the bank will tell her to zip her mouth shut rather than lose your business.

If you have the influence to get your business to change banks, I'd likely do that immediately to add an exclamation point to your displeasure with being treated the way you were!

I had a problem like that at the local grocery store. I use to work on a farm and I was getting paid to kill crows so I brought my air gun to shoot them. Well after 7 hours of killing birds you get hungry so I walk into the store got some snack food and walked to the counter to pay and the manager and like 5 workers walk up to me and ask to see my CWP which I then informed them that since it was a air gun and was visabile that I did not have to have a CWP to carry it. Well the sheriff was in the store and they called him over .... 30 mins later after he explained that it wasn't illegal for me to carry a air gun into store and that he knows me and knows that I wouldnt do anything illegal with it. The manager then said I had to leave and that I couldnt even buy my food. So I talked to my parents and we called the main office and talk to some and they made the manager write me a letter of apology and sent me a 100$ gift check. moral of the story fight for your right to bare arms no matter how small they are.

Coming back from the World IPSC Shoot, Venezuela 1988, flew into Fort Lauderdale, my Son and I, we lived in Canada then. Tagged on to a charter flight going to Toronto that had two seats open.

My case in the Ex-Ray showed a block of steel "Thats my pistol" I said, never seen a pistol that was just showing as a block, out comes the case, Glock17 un boxed, by me! The custom's? Guy said, "What is that made of?" so dissemble took place, and several federal, and local Police were called to look at this strange gun, none of which where in the US at this time.

After this lesson was over, gun back in case, hand shakes all round, on to plane.
The Canadians who had not made a sound while this was going on, never spoke to us.

My Son who had stood quietly by, said to me "They never asked why you had the Glock, where you had been, or where you were going Dad?"

My Answer "This is America Son" and that's why we live here now!

To take your own pistol back into Canada then, all you needed was a little green card, that stated you had taken it out with you, same card you would get for a Camera!

I would personally have my company withdraw all deposits from this bank, and cease being a customer. The bank manager flat out LIED to you. Twice.

Once, when she claimed you were in violation of federal law, and second, when she claimed to have called the police and you found out she did not.

In both cases, she was simply trying to intimidate you into compliance with her personal/political beliefs by the use of falsehoods and threats.

Personally, I don't do business with liars. But that's just me.

Before the mid-seventies in Toronto, one could carry ammo in the pocket, an uncased rifle in hand, and take a city bus trip.

At that time, on the Prairies, the RCMP in one small Saskatchewan town practiced in a basement range in the town drug store. RCMP and townies would go to the town dump and shoot rats in the headlamps of RCMP cruisers.

If I wanted a handgun, it was easy to buy one, register it and own it.

But then, in the eighties, a Canadian woman with a chip on her shoulder and connections to Roberta Peters--the Soros gun banner in Australia, got her public relations act together. By following the same techniques Obama follows--in Saul Alinsky's "Handbook for Radicals" and Edward Bernays' public relations techniques, she managed to demonize both legal guns and gun owners. Now, Canada is as bad as New Jersey--well, not that bad.

In the U.S., the Brady Bunch tries the same thing, but the NRA has the funds and manpower to hold them off.

Sorry. Back to the thread.

Some day, sirfarmer, I hope you have a moment to chat with Miss Manager to see what motivated her. Is she Canadian? What's her problem? Was she dropped into N.H. from New Jersey? I'd love to know.
