Kudos to you for pursuing the issue!

You have PNC Bank down there? I have been to numerous PNC banks in both VA and PA and never had an issue. They also have great customer service.

I second PNC! They've been great for me up here in NOVA.

I'll check this week, if my credit union has a branch in your area. I've carried in bronco federal a month now, with no issue.

Good call on the canned response!

Dear Ryan :

Thank you for contacting Wells Fargo. My name is Whittney, and it is my
pleasure to assist you today.

Wells Fargo recognizes your Constitutional right under the Second
Amendment to keep and bear arms. However, we also seek to provide a
secure environment for our customers and employees to conduct daily
business. Any signs that are posted in our store locations are not
intended to facilitate the physical prevention or intervention of a
criminal act by any of our customers or employees. That responsibility
rests solely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

With safety in mind, Wells Fargo has prohibited the transportation or
use of weapons on its private property, except by law enforcement
officials. While a number of states issue concealed weapons permits to
citizens, such a license does not grant one the paramount right to carry
a weapon on private property. Weapons are not allowed on Wells Fargo
grounds because of the possibility of an accident, resulting in the
injury or even death of an innocent customer or employee, no matter how
careful and responsible one might be.

Wells Fargo reserves the right to refuse service to anyone bringing
weapons on its property. Signs are meant to be a clear indication of
this policy to lawful citizens and customers.

On behalf of Wells Fargo, thank you for your business. We are happy to
have you as our customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you
today.

Sincerely,
Whittney K

I did some digging on Bronco Federal Credit Union, and it seems they only have 3 branches. Suffolk, Franklin, and Emporia. Sorry bud, if I here of any other's in your area, I'll let you know. I work with a few on that side of the James, and I'll see if they can look for a sign at there bank. I know one of my workers banks with Virginia Credit Union. He claimed when he bought his .40 he walked in without issue. I'll see if he can locate a sign, and look for something on there website, provided they have one in your area.

I have Oced into that specific Wells Fargo before. Granted it was earlier last year but I never had an issue.

I thought it was interesting how the canned replies (from Wells Fargo) compare to the reply received by another poster almost two years ago.

As noted, I got the same canned response from the regional vice president two years ago:



That policy was one of the factors that led me to refinance my home mortgage through a different financial institution. That, and the fact that after their store manager falsely accused a customer of committing a crime, they completely ignored that part of the affair.

That reminds me, I really need to follow up with the letter explaining to the board of directors how they lost an account worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I have been a loyal Suntrust customer all of my life and have never had an issue with OC.
