Ok so I was openly carrying my firearm into my bank the other day (I had done the same thing four seperate times with two different tellers and had no problems.) and the lady at the counter said I wasn't allowed to carry into the bank. I told her there were no signs posted, which there weren't, and she said that it is just common knowledge. So instead of calling the manager over she continued to cash my check. I assume she complained to the manager later because after I left I received a phone call from the bank manager. I was away looking at apartments so I had to wait a day to return the call.
I returned the call and the manager said that I can't carry because of a federal law that bans firearms in federally insured buildings. I argued that she is probably mistaken and asked her if she could give me the statute. She said she didn't know it but knew it existed. I then asked her if I could show that there is no such law and be allowed to carry into the bank again. She said no because it's bank policy too. She then refered me to her security consultant. I called him and he said the same thing, minus the bank policy crap. He told me to call the county attorney. I called him and he said he'd never heard of anything like that but he wasn't sure. He told me to google it, which I already had. So I left a message with the security guy asking him to do a little research for me to find that law, since he offered in our conversation earlier.
Does anyone know of a bank in the London/Corbin area that doesn't have a problem with armed citizens? I know there is a BB&T and also a Cumberland Valley National Bank here in town. I suppose I'll try to open an account with them to see how they react.
