Bank carrying?

[buckman2591]

So who carries into the bank while doing business with the bank? Is it legal in your state? Some dimwit banker claims its illegal in Ohio

Here in Montana it's illegal to carry in a financial institution such as a bank or credit union, so I do most of my banking at the drive through window.

It's not in FL. The notice on the entry is no hats, hoodies up, sunglasses, and something else I can't remember, but no "No Guns" signs.

Here in North Carolina, up until this past December concealed carry was not allowed in financial institutions. New laws now allow it unless gun buster sign is posted. Gun buster signs carry the weight of the law here.

The more I hear about my former home state of NC, the more it sounds as if you can carry a firearm any where but every where.

The two that drive me nuts (even as a new CCP holder)

1) no carry in restaurants that SERVE alcohol, even if you don't consume. Legislature is trying to change this to be in line with 44 other states.
2) no carry anywhere that charges admission... ie. movie theaters, etc.

Perfectly legal here in TX, unless I'd 30.06 posted. I carry at my bank every time I go, which is not too often.

No mention of Banks, Credit Unions or the like. And don't let them tell you that FDIC Insured makes them a federal installation.

I do, although I don't find the need to go to the bank very often. Practically everything I need to do can be done online, unless I need to withdraw cash, and even that can be done for free at the ATM at the local drug store. Actually, my bank is a Credit Union. I've moved to new states twice, so the nearest branch is a day and a half drive. Luckily, they are members of the credit union consortium so I am able to use a different CU's local branch for those times I do need to conduct business in person. That CU serves the local armed forces and luckily this particular branch is not on base, so I can legally carry on premises.

Yeah... print this out and ask that banker to highlight the text that prohibits you from carrying in his bank. Tell him you'll buy him lunch if he's successful :)

It is perfectly legal to do so in Florida, regardless of any signs.

[odysseus]

I have worked for banks. My impression was it is a federal law that prohibits carrying in a national bank. No?

Not illegal in OH but signs have force of law. I carried open at the PNC in West Chester OH. I won't step foot in the bank without my gun.

[Fausty]

my bank isn't posted. as far as i understand it is legal in WI.

I think we need a definition of a "national bank". "Federal Reserve"?

That would put any armed guards delivering money in a bind.
