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.
This is not correct. You CAN carry in a bank. It is a private institution, not a government one. If the bank has no policy or problem with a person carrying, you may do so. Some states also have no law that prevents anyone from carrying a weapon in a drinking establishment, your own state is one of them. The only limitation to carrying in a restaraunt in Virginia is that you MUST carry it openly. There are no concealed weapons allowed in a restaraunt that serves alcohol.

Which makes me feel like we should regulate people instead of inanimate objects.

Guns don't make bad decisions.
One should not have to dictate personal behavior that doesn't directly affect others simply because a person FEELS scared around guns. We don't do it for people that are afraid of blacks or hispanics, do we?
