I'm getting ready to close an account there. Because of my business, and one my wife owns we have several accounts at maybe 4 banks. I have yet to see a gunbuster sign. Glad I'm moving out from that bank.

I don't always carry close to home, expecially with the teens in and out of the car, and at their schools, but I always carry when I'm headed to the bank.

 

there reason is the usual stupid, asinine canned response.

i don't use banks anyway.

Boy I'll feel so much safer now when I go in my bank............ No wait......darn...

 

We were in the drive thru at our local SECU last week and there was a sign posted "no firearms on premises".

 

Question....if you're robbed on the way in the parking lot is your loss covered by FDIC?

My credit union is posted. What now?

I know you meant that as a rhetorical question.

We are not even covered if it is a business account and someone pilfers our username/password for on-line banking and steals funds, unless the bank's own systems were compromised.

That was actually a serious question. Seems the banks post with the excuse of safety yet make no provisions for your safety entering or leaving the bank and most don't even have armed guards inside anymore.

I think about the robberies I have read about where a customer in line might never even know that the guy ahead of him has slipped a note to the teller saying he has a weapon, and to hand over cash. The banks don't want a shoot out. Too much potential for collateral damage.

Nevertheless, I intend to defend myself going and coming.

EDIT- I just checked the FDIC.gov website- To answer the question, it appears deposits are insured. If your money is in the parking lot coming or going, or in your pocket for that matter in the branch, I am assuming you are SOL if robbed.

No banks around these small towns near me have armed guards. Last time I seen an Armed Guard at a bank was a few years ago at a BOA at Myrtle Beach.

None here ever, that I have seen, and I frequent several.

 

The SECU off close to 401 and 70 split is posted as well.

No need for guards they have a sign that says you can't have a weapon.

It is the principal for me.

I'd argue that the owners at the highest levels, i.e. Holdings, and of other banks, Warren Buffet are of the liberal mindset, and as far as guns in their banks, or anywhere else? That ship has sailed.

I am just glad to be able to carry in the other banks for now before they too get posted. Beyond that? One does what one has to do to protect oneself.

 

Posted or not I am not going into a bank w/o protection. Long as life/limb is not in danger they can have all the money they want. Endanger someone and all bets are off.

 

I totally see where you all are coming from and I agree. My primary thoughts are to encourage policy change through customer request.

 

SECU is posted that carrying a CONCEALED weapon is prohibited. Just untuck your shirts fellas.

Trust me...you don't want to see what's under my shirt...

 

I've checked every entrance and the drive through lanes at my SECU here in Greenville and haven't seen anything posted anywhere. I've carried in there every time I've gone in and will continue to do so, sign or not.

My guess, and is purely a guess, is that the gunbuster that gets posted on the doors won't distinguish between CC or OC. I think any perceived violation would hinge on what the little sticker looks like or reads as.

The ones I've seen Specifically say "no concealed weapons allowed"

I misunderstood. I didn't realize they already had it posted on the doors.
