Earlier today, I left home to run some errands. I knew one of those errands would take me to my bank (a Phoenix branch of Chase), but I decided to carry my gun today anyway, planning to lock it up in the car for the short time I'd be inside.
Obviously, I've been to this branch before; and I'm almost positive there used to be a "No Firearms, persuant to ARS whatever number" sign on the front door - but today there wasn't one. Is there some federal law prohibiting the carry of a firearm in a bank? I'm pretty certain the state of Arizona doesn't have a law forbidding it. I was just really surprised by the lack of a sign outside, since Arizona law specifically provides companies the lawful authority to make the call themselves.
To be clear, I decided to be safe and left my firearm in my vehicle. I wanted to ask the banker about it, but didn't want him to somehow perceive my question as some sort of threat. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and ask over the phone.
