Doesn't make sense?

I'm for arming employee's if they choose to carry but as a person who use to be in banking the primary reason why they wouldn't let us carry on the job was liability.

If we or more importantly a customer was injured or killed in a robbery the banks insurance would be liable and it could cost in the millions with legal fees and a settlement.

So just lose the few hundred to a couple thousand bucks and take it as a lose.

It's not like in the movies where they have all the time in the world to go in the vault and walk out with a duffel bag filled with cash.

I've notices around where I live a few branches invested in bullet proof glass as a deterrent and have armed security to make robbers think twice about that location.

If all the banks installed the BP Glass and had guards that would help a lot. But till then, im good with arming the tellers.

Armed guards in banks is quite common in Asia. I know in Hong Kong that many guards there have a shotgun, often with a barrel that has a well worn spot near the muzzle where it is gripped by the guards fingers for hours while on duty.

Here is a news story from 2007 about a HK bank guard who died during a robbery:

same in philippines. they don't look all pristine either. either bought really used or (hopefully), it's used often enough to keep skills fresh.

imho, i believe it's the former though. heck my 870 looks brand new compared to what i saw them carrying when i was back there last year.
