This discussion of what corporate policy might be is all well and good, but let's keep in mind that the employees at the branch can make any rules they want against guns anytime they want, and change them at will, corporate policy notwithstanding.

Employees - no. Managers - yes, depending on the authority that the corporation gives to them. A teller cannot forbid your firearms carry and a teller cannot cause you to be charged with trespassing. Only the person who controls that property can, which is the manager.

I agree with you but the reality of it is that most corporations look at everyone of their employees as having control over the property. It is the manager that has the final decision but each employee is empowered to eject a person.

You've got to separate the private corporate policy (which is none of our business) from the trespass law.

The police and the court will not be interested in the private corporate policy delegating certain authorities. Did an employee tell you to leave? Yes. Did you refuse? Yes. Result: trespass conviction. How else do you think it would play out in court?

Let me ask you this: Is there a difference between a janitor cleaning a bank building and the teller in regards to their authority to remove you from the private property, if both are employees of the bank?

It depends on the policy of the company. I have worked for more that allowed any employee to decide if a person should leave the premises than only wanted the manager to be the single person that had authority to remove someone. Now this is not saying that corporate could not reverse the decision and drop any trespass charges but the authority was vested in all employees.

Yep, with my company when I had several employees, I gave them the right to ask people to leave, and that was on my job sites, constructing houses.
