Ok, so today my wife and I pull in to the bank parking lot and head for the area that takes you around back to the drive up window...
While making our way to the drive up... 3 men with hooded sweatshirts and hoods up were heading for the front door of the bank...
It looked like the 3 men were going in to rob the bank... sure enough,
as we pull around the the driveup... the man in the truck in front of us, who had a clear view of the robbery through the driveup window, confirmed that the bank was being robbed, he had already called 911 and we heard the sirens, and also screams coming from inside the bank from the tellers microphone... it was an unsettling experience... the assailants made it out the front door and down the street on foot before being apprehended by local police...
My question... what if we had been inside the bank...??\
I usually carry concealed...
What would you do in a situation like that>?
We were safe in the car outside, however it made me think about how easily I could have been inside... and again, I usually carry into the bank even though I know we aren't supposed to... It's not like I was about to run into the bank and be a hero, or run after them etc... but had I been inside I wonder what the right thing to do is, or what I would have done...
It turns out the men, were 3 young black men and were according to early reports "un armed"..
Please post your thoughts!
