It would be like someone saying "I am scared of dogs!", but feeling more at ease if you threw a sheet over it.

I would have told the manager I was there for banking business not unwanted advice from a security guard.
But it's a family restaurant
But it's a doctor's office
But it's a bank
But it's a children's park
Okay, and?
Make sure to tell that to the criminals, that way they know too.
ETA: Why are you cashing your check in rolled coins? You better not be taking all the silver, save some for me! I do like the brinks rolled stuff because you can just look at the edges through the plastic. But I think Brinks filters the silver out, always seem to get less in the plastic rolls? I still am very proud of myself for getting a 2008 Silver Proof Dime from a roll I am not, however, proud of myself for getting plastic and Canadian coins. I always feel the need to take out the plastic and Canadian coins and replace them with U.S coins, otherwise I feel like I am ripping off the bank. I have a nice pile of Canadian pennies
Why would posting names have helped?
As a member of a credit union, you are an owner. You have more than a contractual interest in the property, you have ownership as your account is "shares" of the union.
Tell the manager he shouldn't be telling his boss what to do.

Me thinks you are being a bit stubborn. Sure you have a right to carry openly--no one is arguing that point--but---in this day and age with all the shootings going on---you are hurting all of us gun owners. Consideration for others---especially when entering a bank or credit union---is certainly warrented. Just my opinon--
Not Indiana, but back in the day, one could carry openly w/o a license in CA. The Black Panthers did so & made some folks nervous, who complained to their legislators who in turn made it illegal to carry a loaded gun in a town/city/etc.
Fast forward to the early 21st century. People could only carry UNloaded guns in cities in CA. Some folks did just that & made some folks nervous, who complained to their legislators, who in turn made it illegal to open carry even unloaded guns. Now one must get a CCW if they want to carry in CA.
I'm not generally against OC, but I rarely do it. I do not want to give up whatever tactical advantage I may have.
I have a HUGE tactical advantage. I am visibly armed, which deters almost every attacker. I'm not an undercover cop or a criminal. I have nothing to hide.
From reading the OP, the off duty officer was not demanding, but SHARING his opinion. The only way for any idea (opinion) to gain any following would be to share them with others. Because his opinion that concealed carry is superior to OC does not make him any more wrong than those that believe the opposite. There wasn't any threat if the OP didnt comply, the security guard sounded like he followed proper protocol in handling the situation, so wheres the beef?
Sounds like the entire situation played out in an amicable agreement, and despite the security guard's opinion, the OP was allowed to OC on the credit unions premises.
