Did you read that before you posted it?

You're safer to not disarm.

Ha! Good point. But yeah, I meant safe in the legal sense than in the physical sense.

Doh! Must be a newbie thing.

So a buddy and I are heading back from the range on Saturday, and we pull into a bank so I can make a quick deposit. There's no drive-thru, so I have to go inside. It's a Wells Fargo, which I haven't seen 30.06s on before (at other branches), plus I've scanned to be sure. I'm about to go in, holstered, but then my buddy says, "Wait! You can't go in there armed." Now, he just did his renewal and I got my plastic just a few months ago. Banks didn't come up in either of our classes, so we have a short discussion about it in the car. We agree that we haven't seen anything in the law about banks, but maybe it's not the best idea to go into one armed, you know, just in case.

Afterwards, we laughed about it, and it really got me thinkin. And wonderin: have any of you voluntarily disarmed before going in somewhere, just to be safe? Are there places you know you can go into armed, but you still don't?
