So as most of you seen the title, you probably already know what this is about. This was about a few weeks ago (I have yet been able to find much time to get online). And I went to my bank or well old bank, and went to deposit a a check for around 1,500 dollars from school, and walked in to Harris bank and was almost done with my deposit when the teller asked me: "Is that a real gun?" I looked at her and said yes, i would not carry a squirt gun in a holster around".. and she stated that it is illegal to carry fire arms in federal banks. Well From my understanding the bank was Private owned and what not so I was committing no crime since they did not have signs posted on there door. She went on blah blah talking about it and was asking other tellers. And it was just so embarrassing because half the bank people and customers where just staring at me. She asked me to remove it and place it in my car. I explained that the law states open carry is legal and this property is not owned or leased by government, and I am no where near a school and on top of that they did not have signs posted. She stated that the bank was Federal property. So Then I told her I had no problem leaving. But I would like to withdraw my saving and checking account all in Cash and then close the accounts with this bank. If you all could of seen her face, all she did was drop her Jaw. it was priceless. Not trying to gloat or anything but yeah. So considering I had over 90 k saved up from the military and deployment pay, she tried to talk me out of it by being nice after she just got done going on a rant (Didn't work). I got my money. went a 1/2 mile down the road and opened an account with Wellsfargo. Since then I have never had any problems with open carry in there bank.
Sorry for spelling and grammar errors. It is still very early for me.
Any input on how I should of handled this, feel free to drop a line.
