Yes. What does that no gun policy prevent, besides me protecting myself when I happen to be in there during a robbery?
I worked in banking for a while, and the fact is most robberies occur without incident. I'm sure banks want to keep it that way.
If you allow people to carry guns inside a bank, and if a robbery goes down, the robbers will be more than likely to take a hostage with them to ensure escape, AND statistics show that once you leave a bank as a hostage, you're probably not going to live.

What do statistics say about the number of bank robbery attempts deterred from targets that possibly have citizens CC'ing? Also, it's pretty much playing Russian Roulette for a perp if he picks the wrong SOB as a hostage isnt it?

This line of thinking doesn't make a lot of sense. Banks have guards. Taking a hostage is a tactical decision. If you let people carry concealed, how will the robbers know? They'll be surrounded.

What are statistics on armed people being taken hostage in the first place? I bet it would be pretty low.
