Depends on your state and local laws. Where I'm at it's perfectly legal.

banks are privately owned.
they are NOT federal buildings, which is what most people get this topic confused on.
if theres no state specific exemption, then you're fine.

In Ohio, like the majority of the states, CCW in financial institutions is perfectly legal.
As per Section 2923.126 of the OH Code.

No problem with legal permit carry in banks in Alabama
For God, Family and Country!
As previously stated banks are privately owned. Unless your state has a law that allows privately owned institutions to determine whether or not they will allow concealed carry on their property (Virgina has this), or specifically state that carry in banks is a No No, then you are in the clear.

Yes and no. Yes, they can post, no, it's not a firearms violation. All they can do if they discover you're carrying is ask you to leave. If you refuse, it's a misdemeanor trespassing charge. There are far worse places to be.Originally Posted by limatunes
As said, it's legal in Ohio as long as you go to a bank that doesn't post at every location (cough5/3cough).

OK in KY too.

Thanks for the clarification. I wouldn't normally know, but my husband and I may be moving to Virginia so we have started to read, consider and prepare ourselves for Virginia concealed carry laws. The law I was referring to was from the Virginia State police website under the section listing places one could not carry...
Either way, check your state laws!§18.2-308 (O.): Private property when prohibited by the owner of the property, or where posted as prohibited.

I work for the Independent Bankers Association of Texas and you can legally carry in Texas banks, unless they have a 30.06 posted!

Are you sure about this? I agree that the violation is a trespassing charge and not a gun charge.
If the place is not posted, then they have to ask you to leave and you have to refuse before you can be charged.
But I thought that when the place was posted, that constituted their notice that you couldn't carry and is defacto evidence that you ARE trespassing by ignoring the sign.
I'm not sure you are right, but I like your interpretation better.

I understand that banks are not federal buildings, but my question is this. I bank at a Federal Credit Union, does that apply to federal buildings? They do have a posting.

From what I understand, because Virginia doesn't have specific posting requirements, there is no set rule for what constitutes "clearly posted". For example, the mall in town has several anchor stores with their own entrances. At the main mall entrances, they have a 1.5'x2' sign in 1/4" lettering listing the mall rules and bylaws. There is no such sign on the anchor stores, nor is it as readily identifiable as a gun with an international "NO" circle around it, as some states require. I would park at an anchor and walk in that way, if I cared to. YMMV, but I don't visit the mall anymore anyway - too many issues with some of the fools I used to work with there.
