"do ya feel lucky punk? .....well do ya???" What you feel may be a fun prank, may be taken entirely different by the security folks. You may want to limit your mask fetish to Halloween.

Why even take the chance? In this day and time, security would probably shoot first and ask questions later. Not a good idea to try to push some buttons.

Depends on where you are. Check with the local police department. Some places have laws against masks in public places on days other than Halloween.

Go ahead. You will get that extra special personal attention that customers crave. Wear a Darth Vader costume. That will get you noticed.

It is not recommended to wear any mask, hats and/or goggles to the bank!

Grow up!

Allowable or legal or not, you already know it is a stupid thing to do. This is how people make their own luck. What could you possibly gain by wearing the mask into the bank, other than the rush of it? Doing stupid things makes for bad luck.

I suppose next you'll ask if you can play a tape recording of the word Fire in a crowded theatre.

The security guards will likely pull guns on you, I believe it may be against the law as well. You can't go into a movie theatre and scream "FIRE!!".

They can and will or should stop you. It's stupid to even want to do that as you could frighten people.

Go ahead. It may not be illegal per se but you will have a very bad day after you do. You could contest your civil rights to do so after but it will be expensive and you will most likely get charged with something. Again, a very bad day.

Go in wearing your mask, with your deposit held tightly in your fist, which you should keep stuffed in your coat pocket, your arm taut.

Then, after they blow your dumba$$ away, they'll discover you were just there to make a deposit, and feel bad.

This means you win.

How smart do you think it is to wear a Mask into a Bank? It's pretty much a no brainer.

There are a couple things that can happen, all bad. There is in fact in most states a public offense with a name that in Iowa is something like "disturbing the peace." (My son-in-law just told me in Texas it's called "terroristic threat" and says it was called that before 9/11, and says it will get you a quick trip to jail.)

That means doing something really stupid, which a reasonable person would know would frighten people, and thus would not do. If your state has such a law, you will be arrested, cuffed, and taken off to jail for some serious thinking time.

Or, you might get shot by a trigger-happy skin-head security employee with a Glock. That isn't as bad as it sounds, because the Glock is notorious at not killing anyone. (They all use them now, because it bothered the feminists to see female cops with these little toy pistols, while the men had .45 ACP's, that can stop an elephant, but which would break female wrists, so they decreed the men also had to use toy pistols.)

And most security guys can't hit the bank wall without a burst of good luck. Still, there is sometimes a burst of good luck.

However, this might qualify you for the Annual Darwin Award. Your parents would at least have the posthumous trophy as a memento, which is probably more than they will otherwise have, based on your present attitudes.

Do you actually like seeing all the nice officers coming to the bank and screwing guns in your ear, or do you like seeing the customers and bank employee's have a heart attack by your appearance?
