I've never seen a No Guns Allowed sign anywhere in Macon County, but I have seen a few in Gallatin and I think one in Portland. Those are the biggest cities I go to.
Last spring I had some business to attend to in my local bank. I went up to the door and saw a sign saying masks were required to go inside. Well, the business I needed to do couldn't be done at the drive thru, so I gritted my teeth, grabbed a mask off the table at the entranceway and marched on in. All the tellers waved and smiled at me as usual.
As I'm waiting for the customer service lady, I started laughing. Now here I am in a bank with a 45 strapped to my hip, wearing a fucking mask, sunglasses and a hat, and nobody's giving me a second glance. If I pulled that shit in California where I came from, motherfuckers would be diving under their desks and hitting the silent alarm while throwing bags of money at me.
