We need more banks like this one.
Here is a news story about a bank in Troy Missouri that encourages Concealed Carry. Note the sign on the bank door which is shown in the photo. A gun inside a circle without the slash mark across it.

Sir, get out of the truck, Thompson, 58, recalled demanding. Youre not going anywhere.
And when the man put his hand in his jacket pocket, as if he had a weapon, Thompson scolded him again.
You dont want to go there, Thompson said. This will end badly.
Fortunately the robber listened. It turned out the man had no weapon of his own. Thompson and another bank official who also carries his own weapon pulled the man from the truck and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
I didnt have time to get scared, said Thompson, a life member of the National Rifle Association who supports concealed-carry laws. I was excited. Your adrenaline pumps. He robbed a bank, he menaced my employees, and I dont allow that.
Lee walked into the bank about 2:40 p.m., according to police, a few minutes before the lobby was to close for the day. There were about 60 employees in the three-story building and a few customers in the bank, Thompson said.
He brushed past two bank employees who told him to take off the Halloween mask, Thompson said. The teller also told him he had to remove the mask, but according to Thompson, Lee said, No, you gotta give me all your money.
[Wanna talk about employees being clueless!!!!!! you would think that someone wearing a mask into a bank at closing time would have screamed 'HOLDUP!]
