While it may have been discussed or mentioned at some point, I havn't seen it. I am currently a Wells Fargo patron and have had no issues OCing there. I would however be interested in a bank that makes a point to welcome a firearm on their property. Obviously not necessary but I was just curious if there are any in hampton roads that have a pro-gun sign???? Thanks

I bank with Chartway and OC into their branches as well as the locations inside farm fresh. I am always welcomed. No mention has ever been made.

Truth be told, I'm more interested in the fact that a bank is not overtly anti than whether or not it goes out of the way to welcome me and my handgun with open arms.

It's nice to know that some banks publically allow open carry, although I'm not sure exactly what that means - a sign saying "Guns Welcome"?

stay safe.

Nice to see signs telling me what thery and I already knew. But that's just saying they know better than to violate the law.

Where's the confetti and the coupon for a new blender?

stay safe.

PNC OC is OK

PNC bank allows OC in their stand-alone brick-and-mortar branches as well as the grocery store branches too. I don't know if it is posted, but I know that they don't have a problem with OC.

Well you would think anything with the word "UVA" would be anti... However I have OC'd at my bank UVA Community Credit Union and I have never had any issues.

I'm not sure how many Suntrusts you guys have in Virginia, but I've never had a problem in any of them around here. All of the other ones I know of are local banks or credit unions.

Funny how this establishment thinks they recongnize the Constitution when they are only allowing Concealed Carry. I guess the shall not be infringed part is for concealed carriers only....

That's a bank in Chapell Hill, Texas. It's not the bank's fault their customers can't open carry on the premises.

I was OC in my local Suntrust today and the only comments I heard was the female staff there saying "aww isn't he cute", so I said "well thank you, you're gonna make me blush" and they laughed "we were talking about your boy" as they pointed at Logan.
