Bank carrying?

[OldVet]

Hmmm...whatever happened to a person researching the laws of HIS specific state, instead of relying on the "drugstore lawyers" of Defensive Carry to give them the correct answer? Just sayin!!!

What's the fun in that?

It's legal in Texas unless they post a legal sign. I carry everywhere I legally can.

Many banks here in Houston post signs welcoming legal concealed carry holders.

I know personally that almost every teller at the bank where I do business took their CC class with the same instructor I used, a couple of them were in my class, and they carry concealed at work. They also know I carry there. If it aint posted in Ohio, it's legal.

Unless they tell you not to carry in their establishment, in which case it becomes illegal.

It is legal to carry in a bank in Georgia, which I do when I go there.

Personally, I see an open forum as a place to exchange knowledge and ideas and a place to seek clarification of existing information. I would not take the info someone offered here directly and testify in court as to its validity. However, without discussions of member's state laws, I don't see the forum as useful for much more than holster selection and rehashing news reports. Well that, and the awesome topic of busting ones concealed carry cherry in Walmart.... Not trying to open a debate or anything, but merely stating my two cents as well.

The main issue may be trespassing, not carrying. It would depend on how the officer interpreted the signage. If they feel that the sign was sufficient warning that you should not carry, then it would be trespassing to ignore it. And yes, they are unbearably vague most of the time. And even worse, our AG refuses to clarify some of the worst questions. Which means I am responsible for know what the law says, even if the head LEO in the state refuses to translate it.

Yes, but wouldn't a little thing like trespassing by carrying a gun where you're not supposed to be a pretty big thing when it comes to renewing or even keeping your license?

I think it would where I live.

I suppose that would vary from state to state. Here in FL, if asked to leave and you refuse, while carrying, that becomes "felony" trespassing in lieu of misdemeanor tresspassing.

I lock mine in the car safe or use the drive thru here in NE.

Anyplace in NE that is listed in the following statute does not need to post signs.

(Note of interest...The listing below states establishment having a license issued under the Nebraska Liquor Control Act that derives over one-half of its total income from the sale of alcoholic liquor is currently being reviewed/changed. I mean really...how the heck am I suppose to know if half or more of their income is from liquor? And what if it is one month but not the next?

69-2441. Permitholder; locations; restrictions; posting of prohibition; consumption of alcohol; prohibited.

Good gosh man.... I love that it's all in one paragraph there.... not a list... .I may not visit NE anytime soon.... I think the only places NOT on the list are:

In your garage
In your bathroom

If your wife says it's okay

Yes I carry in the bank.. but not in the credit union, it's posted... no wait... I carry in the credit union... and if they discern that I am carrying, they can ask me to leave.... and I will do so... after I close my accounts.

[rstanek]

If is not posted, I carry....Unless prohibited by law, schools,post office, etc.

[Jaxon06]

Concealed means concealed. The only places I don't regularly carry is where they scan. Usually courthouses - which, by the way, other than recent jury duty I haven' been to in an official capacity since the last century.

Last time I carried a bank, I threw my back out. Lift with the legs man!

Let's all bow our heads for the man's prayer.....

I'm a man...
But I can change...
If I have to...
I guess

Sorry, OT I know, but it's what came to mind when I was reading your post.

There's a bank in Chapel Hill Texas that encourages people to carry in their bank! They even put a sign up saying just that.
