BB&T adopted a corporate policy several years ago prohibiting firearms on bank premises.​
It does not look like that is working to well for you. Bad guys seem to TARGET BB&T because they know in advance that no employee or customer will be armed. Good luck with your policy... I hope it does not end up that you just lose money with such a stupid policy instead of lives as well. In some states BB&T would be liable for the death (by law) because of your ban. I can only hope Virginia passes such a law.

Those idiots lost my business forever, I hope they get robbed as much as possible, maybe they will go out of business. But really, when the robbers come in, they should tell them guns not allowed, surely they will just leave.

That is uncalled for. Hoping some poor low-wage employee's lives are endangered to satisfy your frustration is disgusting.

LOL!! From the news article quoting the bank president and one of his reasonings for inviting CC inside the bank...

"“But if you’ve got a policy allowing handguns, he (the potential robber) won’t know how many people are going to be in here carrying a concealed weapon. There may be some little old lady who’s mad at the government, and she’d love to use it,” he said."

Well, synergy one in Manassas is deterring is bank robbers by having a "no hat or sunglasses" policy. Unfortunately, the place keeps getting robbed by a guy wearing sunglasses and a hat. Imagine that.

banks that don't allow open carry in ashburn and leesburg don't work for carry

by the way I am sorry that darn bank got robbed maybe that no gun policy doesn't work :p

I wanted to get an account with northwest federal credit union but they seem to have a no weapons policy posted in the front of their door.
