Guns in Banks - From the Horse's Mouth

Just thought I'd throw this out there, but without a document to back up her assertion of a FDIC rule, it is just speculation.

Glad this thread was made.. My head was fuzzy on the issue, as well.

And this clears it up?

I hope the first post isn't what clarifies the issue for you. As others have said, the OP's experience is far from definitive proof. Nothing personal, just stating fact.

I guess I just always assumed that banks were No Carry zones because of their FDIC affiliation. Now I don't need to guess. Thanks.

I was in my credit union the other day and one of the people at the counter was OCing. He did not look like an official. No one said a thing.

Just keep in mind the difference between "illegal" and "against policy".

Breaking one gets your arrested. Breaking the other only gets you asked to leave.

so which one is a bank?

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

Bank = against policy, you get asked to leave.

Bank = against policy, you get asked to leave.

If my pistol and I are not welcome, neither is my money.

Bill, I wish that I could say the same.

I carry every time I go to a bank... it'd be like not carrying in CVS, a gas station or somewhere else I deem a higher probability of having a problem.

There is hardly a bank in Btown that hasn't been robbed.

Of the few places that I always make sure I am carrying, banks are on that list.

We have banks robbed in Greencastle. I never go to the bank withot being armed. I have OC'ed in the bank several times and never had an issue. But I do have an honest and trustworthy face.

I bet that pimpin' Spartan helmet really lends credibility, too.

I have only OC'd in a bank one time so far, and that was the day after I bought my first good OWB holster for my 1911. It may have been slightly covered by my jacket, though, so maybe nobody noticed. More trials necessary.

I've OCed into my bank most everytime I go. It's a small town bank with three branches. I even asked the girl behind the counter if carry was ok in the bank. She said it was unless I was trying to rob them. I told them there's no way. Not after all the hoops I had to jump to get and be able to carry the gun! LOL

Never had a problem in my bank except a couple older ladies staring at my waist in awe. Pretty sure it wasn't my butt they were looking at, but I could be wrong.
