Prairie State Bank & Trust in Charleston had one of their tellers get a really nice look at the business end of a handgun about a week ago. Apparently the bank robber who robbed the teller failed to see the “NO GUNS” sign on the front door. Maybe it wasn’t big enough. Maybe he just didn’t give a damn.
Oh, that’s right! That sign ONLY applies to good guys with a carry license. Criminals can ignore those signs without fear of prosecution!
I called today at 2:40pm and they confirmed the building is still posted “guns prohibited”. “Guns are prohibited at that location.” The woman had no comment when I mentioned that didn’t work out so well for them about a week ago.
Good thinking, Prairie State Bank & Trust.
There is good news though. At least bad guys with guns go to Prairie State Bank & Trust and endanger YOUR customers and staff as they can be assured nobody will provide meaningful resistance. That way they won’t show up and threaten me, my family and the people I love where I shop and bank.
Hopefully our readers are in that same boat.
