Wait in the parking lot of the bank for someone to come out before walking into an unknown situation. Lots of examples of why some are targeted and others are not. How people behave in public is how one can tell who was former military or first responder, and who was a salesperson. A wise man once said, and I'm going to paraphrase for censorship purposes: Smile and be polite to everyone, but always have an immediate gameplan to neutralize them in the back of your mind."

And always carry!!
