Small rant here. My biggest concern with gun owners are the sub-group who are gun lovers. Guns are a tool, like a hammer. Not your girlfriend, not your XBox - the folks in this group look fools when going around talking about their guns like they're showing off toys.
Practice your shot on the range or in safe area, put it away, lock it up and don't talk about it. Yes we have guns - so what, I also have a drill.
And even if a building owner doesn't want you to carry they have to post a sign at every entrance. And even then they have to ask you to leave if you choose to carry anyway. It only becomes a crime if you refuse to leave after asked.

He is an idiot and dangerous too. I totally agree with you and I'm glad your circle of shooters hasn't done this.
Slightly off topic again, and maybe I should just start a thread on it, but....
So guns are toys to you and your group of friends? Listen, I get that but I also believe a culture of "gun love" is silly and degrading to the adults in the room. Boys with toys and all...
And no BSing here - I took the highest shooter award in the USMC, ranked in the top ten of all time throughout USMC history (mods can double check if so please); and I'll tell you I'll likely out-shoot most gun lovers, but you'll never catch me joining a boys club to play with them. In my mind, and others I know who are pros, we treat guns as tools, nothing more, nothing less.
Anyways, to each their own... don't mean to be rude if that's how it sounds.

I have two hands.
I don't collect things, in my mind whether guns, trains, coins or stamps -- it's all child's play so that's where "toys" comes from.
Anyways, sorry to derail this thread from the OP.
This bank boss needs to lose his gun license and his job if the facts are true as stated - never point a gun unless you intent to shoot. Period.
this is a really stupid statement.
In an interview with The World-Herald, Dahir said, “There was not a weapon ever brandished in any kind of threatening way, and everybody knew it.” He said Cenovic's report was “sensationalized. It doesn't tell anybody anything. It's just gossip.”
