actually,one can LOSE their carry permit if they are caught carrying

There isn't any federal law prohibiting CCP guns in banks. Maybe some
state or local laws? I've never seen a bank with a sign saying "Please
leave firearms outside."

most States have concealed carry laws.There is no Federal concealed carry
permit for non-gov't citizens. The laws vary widely from state to state.
Most states have some sort of provision for "private property" owners to
post signage if they don't want lawfully armed citizens on their
property.as is their right. Some states require specific signs,others
accept any reasonable sign. Banks ARE "private property",but open to the
public. Some shopping malls also post "no guns" signs.

Now,it's rare for any posted business to actually check people to see if
they are armed,either by metal detector or visual inspection.
BUT,if a place IS posted,then it's a violation of your permit to be
carrying there. You may be only asked to leave the premises,or police may
be called. it depends on the property's policies.
You can have your carry permit revoked,and it's usually a misdemeanor
crime.





it's a political statement. I like it.
I dislike places that post "no guns",and generally don't give them my
business. Places like the USPS are unfortunately,unavoidable.

I agree, it's a political statement. It's used to entice others with
the same view to patronize the establishment. Ergo, it's an
advertising gimmick.

for some,it's an "enticement",for others it's a warning to stay
away(hoplophobes and criminals).
It DOES clearly tell customers exactly what their policy is towards
lawfully armed patrons. It gives people the choice to shop elsewhere if
they don't like being around lawfully armed citizens.
It also is a CLEAR statement that the business owners support 2nd Amendment
rights,with no doubt about it. IMO,good advertising.

It's not deceptive like Costco,that has a "no guns" policy,but declines to
post it at their business entrances,so they don't lose customers.





your use of the phrase "C student" smacks of elitism or snobbery.

I have contempt for those unable to use logic, to deduce that this
sign is just a "feel good" advertising trick.

No problem there.

If it makes you feel
good, that's fine. But to interpret it as more than that is a lapse of
reasoning.

sorry,you're wrong.
Being a "C student" does not necessarily mean that they are stupid or
unable to use logic.
your use of "C student" has negative implications and IS elitist and
snooty.if you cannot see that,then perhaps you are below that "C" level.
many "C students" are fine reasoners,and have plenty of common
sense,something that many "book-smart","well-educated" people sorely lack.
Note that a grade of "C" is AVERAGE.
(or supposed to be average.with grade inflation these days....who knows?)
