incident at the bank
I went into the bank to deposit a check and left my pistol in the car. I was in the bank a good 5 minutes and noticed a teller on her cell phone while I was doing my transaction. after I left they immediately locked the doors and I thought that was weird since they weren't closing. I went down the street to a restaurant when I saw a cop driving around the parking lot. he squelched his siren and got out of the car asking if I had a gun on me. I told him I did now. he said there were a bunch of cops at the bank I just left. apparently my shirt tucked behind my holster and was showing. when the teller saw it she called the cops....over an empty holster. the holster wasn't even in the shape of a pistol. it was a simple leather slip holster.

Re: incident at the bank
What bank was this? Seems like they panicked, I wouldn't want to continue to do business there.

Re: incident at the bank
Just once in such a situation I'd like to see the caller charged with making a false report, inducing panic, something. Even if they beat the rap they still should have to take the ride. Turnabout's fair play. Better would be to make the panicker PAY some sheckels for that "bank run" the cops needlessly made.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Stuff like that happens occasionally while getting out of the car. Well, it happens to me anyhow. Maybe your vehicle exits are done with ballerina-like grace every time.muxtech wrote:How did your shirt do that on it's own?spioi wrote: apparently my shirt tucked behind my holster and was showing.

The teller is a member of PETA and didn't like you using leather for clothing. Good thing she didn't look at your dress shoes or belt!

Re: incident at the bank
I'd send a letter to the bank asking why you should continue to do business with them and how they were planning to compensate you for your embarrassment and potential danger of an unjustified police encounter.
If you want to get even better results, slip a lawyer a few bucks to send the letter under his letterhead.

Re: incident at the bank
Where've you been? A guy in a bank started a panic over a fellow,customer with a gun and he was charged with inducing panic. I think it was even posted here.Brian D. wrote:Just once in such a situation I'd like to see the caller charged with making a false report, inducing panic, something.

So there's your "just once" . That was fast, eh?

Re: incident at the bank
While I would normally agree there, I think it would lead to alot less police calls. People would start thinking, well, is that man dressed in all black with a black hoodie carrying a bat taking a jog with a bad, coming home from a baseball game, or getting ready to break into someone's house. Then what do you charge gone on arrivals with?Brian D. wrote:Just once in such a situation I'd like to see the caller charged with making a false report, inducing panic, something.

I understand where you are coming from and part of me agrees, I just feel it would greatly backfire because we'd have more of the "nobody saw anything" that we see in Cincinnati and other major cities. 200 people in a club and someone shot at the main entrance and not a single person saw the shooter or saw anyone run from the scene?

Re: incident at the bank
Is your bank a CPZ? Did you remove the gun specifically to go inside the bank?

Re: incident at the bank
Look at the specifics that spioi described, Jedi. Some teller called the cops because she saw an empty holster. Come on, how much stupid are we expected to put up with every dang day?
We've had a few people over the years ring up 911 on several occasions for my fire department to come because of "seeing smoke" across the street, where it turned out to be steam from the dryer vent. Yes, I'm telling you that Mrs. Jane Doe at 123 Elm Street, and others, made that same mistake on more than one occasion. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Pure stupid.
Although with the empty holster panic thing that might be some mental disorder such as hoplophobia mixed in with the stupid.

Re: incident at the bank
the teller that called was talking to another employee and I heard her say "I'm on the phone with them now". I was completing a transaction and joking with the teller that was assisting me. I was unaware of the teller next to her on her cell with the cops. I was even greeted by the branch manager at the door and said goodbye as I left. it was a pnc branch.

Re: incident at the bank
I would write a letter as Deanimator suggested or at the least speak with the manager. There should have been no reason for them to call the police unless you were acting in a threatening or suspicious manner. You weren't wearing a hat or sunglasses, were you? I've never had an issue at a PNC bank.
