Carry a concealed weapon into a bank?
seniorgeek:
I have always carried when I go into banks. It usually means that I have cash to deposit or I will be taking cash out, so why would I not want my concealed weapon with me?

I figure, if the metal detector goes off, I might end up stuck in there... not a crime, but I wouldn't look forward to explaining myself to the responding LEOs.

Don't those "air locks" just activate when the teller initiates during a robbery?

I'm not sure, but they have big TSA-style metal detectors. I didn't want to find out the hard way, so I go to the bank branches inside supermarkets instead.
lynch:
Del-One credit union branches have those "air locks" with metal detectors. You enter and leave at their discretion.
Clarence:
I wonder how much metal it takes to set one off?
I carry a large multi-tool everywhere seems like that would set it off.
I did see in the Noosy Urinal where a bank robber was caught in one of those things in Newark. Tried to break out and apparently damaged the enclosure. Looks like it was a Citizens Bank. They called it a Man Trap. In this case the teller had to push a button.

They added an additional charge of criminal mischief which I thought was a nice touch.
