they are all taking steps in the right direction.

these are just laws which should be carried out.

you just try walking into a bank in Texas with a ball cap and sunglasses on... let alone a full veil burqa

These steps towards a ban will come true in many other countries, which I think is right!

Carry a firearm on you (either concealed or open)? GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. Face coverings? STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM.

Makes perfect sense.

I am in agreement that face coverings will be abused by the criminal element. However, I also think you need to define the criminal element a little more narrowly.

IMO, it's not just about safety. Whenever I talk to someone, I want to see who I'm talking to. I want to be able to look him/her in the eyes.
Being able to is part of Western culture. If you do not want to comply to that, fine, but stay wherever you come from

You know its funny, I was entering a bank the other day, they have this infographic sign basically says no hats, no glasses, and something else that slips my mind. But when I saw that I had exactly that thought... "Wonder how they would react to a Burka".

But I'm just extremist and reactionary.

Also I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of pepole whom enter a bank with a fire arm harboring ill will are NOT registered carriers of said firearm.
