Banks in small towns, and remote areas, still present an enticing target for robbers.

  Though it must be said the percentage of armed customers increases the more rural you go. Due to local laws, it's a fairly safe bet in Los Angeles that few if anyone has a weapon more dangerous than a pocket knife. In small town Texas or Alabama, there will be a much higher percentage of armed customers, and a non-zero number will have a hero complex.

    I can’t imagine putting myself in harms way for a a bank of all things.

      It's not necessarily about the bank - some people think that living in a civilized society is nice and from their point of view every violent crime, be it against a bank or anything else, is a step away from that.
