Well, Federal Property is supposed to be safe for anyone conducting business there...[sarcasm mode off]

US Capitol building - 3 dead (Tom Delay's office)

Cynthia McKinney - security bypass plot "foiled"...

etc etc...You just never know...

Ok, so I didn't really turn the sarcasm off all the way...

While I was taken inside to discuss it with the sargent,
He was interviewed by one of the officers.

Like I said,
It was "real" interesting.


See you at the range.

By that time, the officers pulling the P.R. and metal detector duty notice you looking at it and if you want to come in to do business, you get the 'nth degree of attention above all the other folks coming in at that time...

Glad I don't have to do anything there...

A couple of years ago, the TSRA asked for pictures of postings at govenment buildings. I took a picture, from the outside and got hauled in to chat with the supervisor.

It was interesting.

See you at the range

That was you?!?!?

I'm inspired...

The JSC Federal Credit Union, the Dixie Farm Road branch had a remodeling job done last year...I have had an account there since I was about 10 years old...My Dad set it up, and I have hung onto it for posterity and respect...

I told my Dad about the 30.06 sign (posted in very nearly compliant methodology), and since he is a CHL'er as well...He told me to consider closing the account, and letting them know the reason for it...

I believe their Federal affiliation is in name only, and not subject to fall under the U.S. Code for facilities like that...

I am, of course still contemplating closing the account...I do not do very much there, as the funds I put in there kinda sit, and are only used for special occasions...

Echhh, I gotta git to werk...hehehe

She suggested that if I didn't like it I could go ahead and be a test case.

When I pointed out that, by her logic, I could reasonably claim a good faith effort to obey the speed limit if I only went 49 in a 40 zone, she got real huffy and hung up on me.

My call also was about a Community Credit Union which has undersize and non-contrasting signs posted, but the answer remained the same.

I hate running into snooty ladies...
