I find the large banks much more reputationally focused than smaller, regional ones. It's easy to get them to go against "policy" when you leverage the right regulatory bodies on them. The $'s for an individual consumer are less than a rounding error vs dealing with a regulator on a situation. Very quickly the time you are sucking up of theirs exceeds whatever it is your're arguing. They bend very quickly. Just food for thought.PJPOWER said:
Yeah, I don’t really know. I have always banked with local banks and tried to avoid the big ones you mentioned do to what you mentioned.mrussel1 said:
You'd be a fool to go to Wells. The issue with the fraudulent card openings is real and pervasive. I think I posted here, after the Citi announcement, that the Bank was next. Don't you worry, Cap One will be coming soon. They have a far more progressive employee base than BAC. They were celebrating LBGT month starting in 1997.PJPOWER said:
Should all level out. I’m sure the teachers boycotting Wells Fargo will be counteracted by the gun owners boycotting BOA and vise versa...This is all pretty non-significant at the end of the day. There are plenty of banks that would love the business, especially the smaller ones.Halifax2TheMax said:Time to dis-invest in Wells Fargo!

The issue with it is, how reckless and dumb it is to carry a gun that way. Someone mentioned how open carry and conceal carry are legal so no big deal. This is completely normal.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
The deal is she's wearing the gun as a fashion accessory. She's an idiot, but she doesn't realize it because she's surrounded by idiots that thinks that is cool."My brain's a good brain!"0

fem·i·nism
The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
What does carrying a gun in your pants irresponsibly have anything to do with that?
Not to mention doing so while advocating for a person who is an admitted sexual assaulter.0 -
So a woman advocating equal 1st and 2nd Amendment rights by outwardly exercising and openly stating that she is promoting female empowerment does not fit the definition of feminism...and wearing a pussy hat does...got it.dignin said:

It is a woman’s right to advocate and vote for whoever she feels fit, whether or not it is someone you agree with. It is also a woman’s right to be pro-life, pro-gun, etc, etc, etc.

And why do you keep bringing up "pussy hats"? Are you still upset by actual feminists marching against your saviour Trump? Is that what this is all about?

I think the picture is dumb, but I don't get the hype around it. At first I thought it was said this was a high school yearbook photo, I can get why high schools would be upset.
Its college, and sounds like it got more coverage because she posted it on social media than from a yearbook.
Again, I think it's dumb, but who cares? That's really the worst thing posted on social media that deserves so much attention? I would also ignore all the safety comments. Its a photo shoot, First I would assume someone advocating for gun rights knows how to handle a gun, and second, a photo prop I doubt its loaded with the safety off. That goes against basic safety rules to assume its not loaded, but in this case I think it is okay to not slamm her for ignore safety when we have no idea what was really happening. This picture should have just got ignored and would have been forgotten in an hour.0 -

I agree she should be ignored. She is obviously just trying to stir the pot and get a job on Fox News. I'm sure she will get a job soon too, she doesn't seem particularly smart but she is attractive.....all the qualifications you need to be a right wing spokesperson.0 -

I think the picture is dumb, but I don't get the hype around it. At first I thought it was said this was a high school yearbook photo, I can get why high schools would be upset.
Its college, and sounds like it got more coverage because she posted it on social media than from a yearbook.
Again, I think it's dumb, but who cares? That's really the worst thing posted on social media that deserves so much attention? I would also ignore all the safety comments. Its a photo shoot, First I would assume someone advocating for gun rights knows how to handle a gun, and second, a photo prop I doubt its loaded with the safety off. That goes against basic safety rules to assume its not loaded, but in this case I think it is okay to not slamm her for ignore safety when we have no idea what was really happening. This picture should have just got ignored and would have been forgotten in an hour.
I agree she should be ignored. She is obviously just trying to stir the pot and get a job on Fox News. I'm sure she will get a job soon too, she doesn't seem particularly smart but she is attractive.....all the qualifications you need to be a right wing spokesperson.
I'll definitely agree on the ignore. These days, the right has mostly devolved into just attempting to provoke the left, since they have few good arguments left.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

She’s being careless, irresponsible, and endangering her life. Doesn’t really bode well for the responsible gun owner argument. If I’m sitting on the edge of a bridge with a 300 foot chasm below, I’m not doing anything illegal either. Do you see the big deal there?KC138045 said:

The issue with it is, how reckless and dumb it is to carry a gun that way. Someone mentioned how open carry and conceal carry are legal so no big deal. This is completely normal.

So now we should assume that the firearm she's carrying isn't loaded, despite the fact that she says she is carrying it "to protect myself and my family"? I guess she'll whack people over the head with it.
I'm saying take this for what it is. A photo shoot. I have no reason to believe she carries a gun in that manner. Its a photo shoot to support her beliefs.
I have no reason to believe she carries her gun like that, probably uses a pocket holsted or in her purse like almost every other person who legally carried Only people who carry like that are gang bangers.
I said I think it was a dumb way to express yourself, but I think people are reading too much into it. Its a photo shoot, not her guide on how to carry a concealed weapon. I mean, do you think she walks around with her shirt lifted up too?0 -
No one is asking for a free pass. Again, take it for what it is. She's not advocating for carrying a gun like that. its a photo shoot and a photo prop. I just said I dont think this picture deserves all the attention (positive or negative) and to be called reckless and unsafe. Its a photo shoot with a photo prop. It looks extremely uncomfortable, I highly doubt she walks around town like that. And it doesnt seem like she is promoting for people to just shove a gun down their pants. Its a statement and a photo shoot. I have seen thousands of photoshoots with unreal poses, this can;t be the time time anti-gun people have seen an unreal photo shoot. So I don't know why they are acting like it is.dignin said:
Wait. Just awhile ago people were ripping on a woman for taking apart a gun in the wrong order because it was setting a bad example. But this person gets a pass?mace1229 said:
