This has shades of Britain's anti-social behavior laws. Look like this and we will assume you have terroristic intent.

Banks should be more worried about not buying into these credit derivatives and following common sense to maintain the health of their bank more so than what its patrons are wearing. Wonder if they want people to walk in wearing only g-strings?:)

I think they would prefer a G-String instead of a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and sunglasses on. No need to generate concern.

How about they cut to the chase and write "No Robbers, please" on the signs instead of the laundry list?

May I infer from this article that you may bring a firearm into a Wisconsin bank and still be waited on, but you will be watched more closlely? Or was this just bad writing? Can you bring a firearm into a Minnesota bank too?

Ban hoods and sunglasses. You wouldn't want to make bank robbery illegal. Ummmmmmm. Oh, uhhhhhhh never mind. How about getting cameras that take decent pictures for after the fact. Why can't they make security cameras that take clear and in focus pictures?

While Wisconsin is one of only a few states that does not allow conceal and carry of firearms, the state Attorney General clarified this spring that open carry of firearms is legal in Wisconsin. This is likely why the "No Guns" aspect of the slogan/campaign was included - because while it is technically legal to carry your firearm into a Wisconsin bank (or any other business), it's probably not the smartest thing you could do.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Sagittarius

The rumour mill is especially active, and interesting tales are coming at you from all sides. Don't believe everything you hear: there are people who will start gossip to further their own aims and you don't want to help them unwittingly. Similarly, don't reveal too much of yourself to those who you don't know intimately - keep your own counsel.
