You can get fined for wearing a hoodie in Oklahoma

I'm not sure how often it would be enforced at a bank. If the teller knows you as a regular customer, it might not be a big deal but if they don't know you, they're within their rights to ask you to remove your hat and/or glasses to see your face. I will say that this rule, as far as banks and pharmacies goes, is one of the rare times the laws makes sense given the danger they often risk on the job.

Yes, when this happened, the gun laws in NY got tighter in response to the tragedy in CT. I think they pushed it through so fast, that it actually prohibited movie studios using prop guns, so they revised them yet again. NY and NJ are about the two craziest states for gun laws, but NY is ever changing.

I know we have strict gun laws in our state Massachusetts , have they change too b/c of what happen in CT.?

I went into my bank wearing a hat and asked the teller if I needed to take my hat off and I was told "No , I was fine " That is funny what happen to RR ! LOL! I use to go the drive up with Finlay he was so protected of me that he kept barking at teller and I could not hear her. I had to go inside and I think Finlay did that so he could get a cookie from the teller . :hmm:

Yes, we have restrictions on ammo and more police chiefs not granting a Class A to carry unless the applicant can prove they have a need for it. It's strict to the point of a violation of the applicants 2nd amendment rights. I know of one person from nearby Salem, MA that got a promotion in his job. The promotion required carrying a firearm. His police chief refused to give him the permit; the employers did another background check to see if they missed anything - they didn't. Long story short, he resigned his job rather than fight the police in court. In MA, many police overstep their jobs and deny people with no basis.

The other aspect our our laws is that the pistol mags are nearly impossible to load thanks to Bill Clinton, a safe gun is one you can't load, rack or fire. Our trigger pulls are ten pounds - if not, the gun can't be sold here. Most MA residents send their gun off for trigger work so they can actually use it. There's a slew of crazy requirements and tests for guns to pass before they can be sold here. Not a surprise, many gun companies like Glock refuse to do business with CA and MA, Beretta has left MD to open a factory in TN... The sad thing is these laws just hurt average citizens and those that lose jobs when these companies leave. I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before S&W decides to move from Springfield, MA to Texas.....
 
Some of the Northeastern gun makers have move to my state, SC.

Our police chiefs have nothing to do with our carry permits.

That would sad to see S&W move b/c they been here since 1852 !
 
Every time I walk into the bank, I ALWAYS remove my winter hat-- the one with the flaps on it. Never wear it inside any bank nor building, as there's enough room inside that hat to hide a weapon, so I always take it off when entering any building.
 
All I can say is another conservative wackaloon from OK heard from. Does he really think outlawing hoodies is going to keep outlaws from wearing them to commit crimes? While he's at it why not pass a law that makes banks put signs on their walls in 3 foot letters saying bank robbery is a crime and require all tellers who are being robbed to tell the crook that what they are doing is against the law. Another thing this idiot isn't considering is that if people paid attention many robberies could be stopped before they happen, all it takes is for people to just pay attention. Years ago in Los Angeles, in the middle of July, with the temp in the mid 90's, a guy came into a Bank of America dressed in Santa suit, stood in line and then held the bank up! Nobody said anything or thought it was out of the ordinary that this guy was dressed as he was in the middle of July and standing in line they all just waited their turn and didn't put two and two together. Here in California, after 9/11 the lawmakers passed a law making most areas in front of public schools a no parking zone while school was in session. When I called the author of the legislations office and talked to the aid they told me it was to stop a terrorist from parking a car or truck bomb in front of the school and blowing it up! After I stopped laughing I asked the person if they really thought a no parking sign was really going to stop someone from parking a car or truck in front of a school or even driving it onto the school grounds and detonating it! They had no answer! This guy was our village idiot and this lawmaker that the poor people of OK elected is their version of their very own village idiot.

Earlier this year my credit union had some personnel turnovers and while riding my motorcycle, i went to the drive-thru. The new guy wanted proof of who I was before cashing a check. Showing a driver's license was not enough for him, so I took off my sunglasses. Not enough, I removed my helmet and he finally stared at me through the camera and said ok.

After getting my money in an envelope, I put it in a glove box. While I put on all my gear, which takes awhile, and having a line behind me, I forgot my wallet was laying between my legs on the seat. Rode off about 2 miles and stopped. Went to reach for my wallet in the back pocket....I realized I had dropped it as I drove off. First time losing my wallet in my 61 years. I was not a happy camper.

Had to report it to the police, get licenses reissued, etc.

After Sandy Hook tragedy in NY, they pushed a gun law that banned gun mags of more than 7 rounds - effectively making law abiding citizens and all law enforcement officers, criminals. When they realized what they did, they changed the laws again trying to amend it. It's so crazy now that if you're law enforcement or a civilian from out of state planning on driving through NY, you're encouraged to "consult a lawyer."

Wow really? Sounds like such a hassle... :ugh:

I've been there before. Once left my wallet on a CTA bus..... with my military ID in it..... oops. Thankfully it was recovered at Jefferson Park, fully intact. Since then, I've taken better care of my stuff.

I'm a lot more careful now. I won't let someone rattle me anymore.

Same here. I tend to put my cards in a pocket in my cargo pants. There's a small pocket just big enough for several cards and important stuff, and if I'm traveling, that's where they go. Harder to reach for criminals, and much harder to mistakenly lose that way.

Obviously your credit union doesn't have a card reader and have you swipe your bank card and enter a pin number. You might want to tell them it's now 2015, and not 1985! You might also want to tell them that card readers would not only speed up the banking process, but be less of a hassle for their customers.

I was in the drive thru to cash a check, you put your endorsed check and ID in the carrier and wait. I was not using a bank card at the ATM.
