Seen this sign at my local bank this morning.

[DadSmith]

You and your bank are in Indiana?

This bank is a bank that bought out my old bank. Its out of Ohio. Civista bank.

Now I wonder if that is Ohio law and they just placed the sign on their new Indiana branches?

I just noticed it. I've went in and out of my branch for years with my EDC IWB pistol for many decades. Never had a sign like that before.

 

[Wabatuckian]

Why is always a dang Beretta in these signs?

It's not. It's a Taurus.

So even the "poors" will understand.

yeah probably same contractors just go around remodeling or something and just following a plan. I imagine a nice polite chat with teh branch manager is all that's needed

 

[Cameramonkey]

No its not...

Amazing how some people will lie to gain compliance.

And also amazing how many ignorant fools there are that will fall for it.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Well, I don’t need that kind of negativity. I’ll find another more friendly bank

OK you can bring your cluster bomblets, just don't juggle them.

I saw a similar sign at a place recently, but I think the batteries for the sign must have been dead because I just walked right on in with my 1911.

As I figured. It's an Ohio state law that doesn't work in Indiana.

"No Weapons Allowed" Signs Enforced?
Are "No Weapons Allowed" signs enforced in Ohio? If yes, violating the sign would be considered to be a crime. If no, violating the sign would not be considered a criminal offense.
Yes. The person in control of private premises, and a private person leasing premises owned by the state, the United States, or a political subdivision of the state, may post a sign prohibiting firearms on or onto that land or those premises. [Ohio Rev. Code § 2923.126(C)(3)(a)]

For locations designated as off-limits even with a valid permit/license, per Sec. 2923.1212, posted signs must contain a statement in substantially the following form: "Unless otherwise authorized by law, pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, no person shall knowingly possess, have under the person's control, convey, or attempt to convey a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance onto these premises."

Just go in and yell, "Hey pal, this ain't Ohio!!" I think that'll do it.

I think it is also illegal to carry in a bar in Ohio.
stopped once for lunch at a bar and they had the sign posted in the men's room, I guess that was the only place they thought we would actually read it

i wish I had a couple of Claymores

How about a @Creedmoor

 

[Cameramonkey]

How about a @Creedmoor

We have one too many of those already. Dont need more.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Seems like we've seen this sort of sign before. IIRC, it was on a bank door whose corporate offices were from out of state, I think where it was illegal to carry a gun inside.

I think you mean the Taurus owners.

I just talked with a person from Civista bank.
They said to go talk to the manager at the local branch especially after I brought up that sign was wrong according to Indiana state law.
They were done talking.
Since the manager has been there for years I doubt she'd have a problem with it. But it won't hurt to find out.

Do you have a credit union nearby? Screw banks, I've been a credit union member for several decades. They are member owned, the rates and services are better than traditional banks and don't have stupid policies. No signs on the door other than one asking to remove hats & sunglasses. They've never mentioned my sidearm.

I used to bank at PNC. I needed a notary service to witness my signature for a Wells Fargo loan re-cast document (not a refi or anything like that). They told me they would not provide a notary unless my loan was with them. I walked over to the mgrs. office and asked to close my account right then and there. Took everything over to the Forum CU and been banking there ever since. They were happy to provide several notary services for me since then.
