The one place i cannot simply stay away from because of their 30.06 sign is my bank. Of course with the bank I can avoid disarming by simply not going inside. In this day and age with most stuff being available online or over the phone, or just going through the drive thru.

Given what you said before the above quote I am surprised that you have not changed your bank. Both banks I have accounts with are sign free. At one of those banks the day my wife and I went there to open our accounts I open carried my 1911 in a leather thumbreak. I have open carried on all subsequent visits I just nod and smile at the security guard as I walk past him on the way in.

I probably should but my truck is financed through this Credit Union. So I am stuck with them until I can refinance it somewhere else.

IANAL, but here's my thoughts,


Situations like this are why secondary weapons and bare hand skills are important. My way of thinking is this, I just simply do not stop or shop in places posted 30.06. Plain and simple If a place has a .06 sign I will go elsewhere. If you're set on going to that place, and worried about having to defend yourself maybe think about carrying a second form of defense, like a knife, mace, taser, etc. Or build up and work on your empty handed skills.

First time you're caught carrying in a 30.06 area, it's a $200 fine and class c misdemeanor. Repeat offenses are more severe I believe, and you begin to run the risk of losing your license and coming out of pocket a lot more money.
