OH: Followup to Guns in Public, Oh my!
Discussion about the recent panic by bank tellers in Adelphi Ohio, where they saw some people trade a couple of firearms from the bank window, raised questions about where the traders parked. Some readers envisioned a mall parking lot. Some imagined the parking lot of a stand alone bank.
With a little research, there appears to be only one Kingston National Bank in Adelphi, at 11811 Main Street. With a Google search we can see how the street is arranged. The bank building is in the middle of the block that is west of the large building with the red roof. You can see the drive through arrows pointing south in the image.
Some things are cleared up immediately. Adelphi is not New York City on Times Square. It is a very small village (population 378) that is quite rural. The bank building is just another run of the mill building in the area, that does not stand out particularly.
We are not told where the men exchanged their legal property. There is not much parking in front of the bank. There is parallel parking across the street, and a small parking lot for the establishment that is diagonally south-east of the bank. A teller in the drive through might be able to see activity where the four cars are parked on the street to the west of the bank. It seems unlikely that the people in the bank could see the tiny parking lot to the rear of the bank.
I am surprised that a few people trading legal firearms raised alarms in this rural village in Ohio.
Perhaps the bank tellers were transplants from Cleveland?
