Aaah, ignorance is bliss.
Check it out: Concealed carry rules as described by state law dictate locations where, what, when / how you can and cannot carry your weapon. A concealed carry license is not a do-it-all gun card. Not even close. You cannot carry a firearm in banks, schools, government offices, and establishments that serve alcohol in a sit-down-to-drink fashion (bars), concealed carry or otherwise (open carry).
So... as to your worry... you don't have to stress about taking it into a bank: it is illegal to do so.
Common sense also helps... which is what a issuing and using a concealed weapon license is all about.
...
Which makes me feel like we should regulate people instead of inanimate objects.
Guns don't make bad decisions.
...
I heartily endorse anybody who is interested to take the concealed carry course that may be offered in their state. I'd recommend it even if you have no desire to own a firearm or use one for personal protection outside your house.
