In a small town that claims to be the "Real West" a bank employee freaked out because an upset customer happened to be open carrying. From the sounds of it, she was in the drive thru and discovered her account balance was less than it should be, probably due to some BS bank fees. Rather than hold up the line of cars, she parked in the triple digit heat and went in to the bank with her small child. The bank does not have any no carry signs posted.
At first I thought the carrier may have over reacted at being robbed by her bank, but:
According to the Police Chief her pistol "never, ever was cleared from the holster, nor were there any specific verbal threats made or any movements made toward the firearm. There was no demand for money, no verbal threats, no physical threats."
Yet the employee felt obligated to call police and falsely report a person wielding a gun and holding hostages. Which of course caused a multi-agency armed response and shut down Main Street.
Sounds like it was the bank that overreacted.
