Having been in banking for 30 years, serving as Internal Auditor, Bank Security Officer (required title) and CFO and having been through 30 bank examinations, I can state as fact that there is NO federal regulation concerning the carrying of a firearm in a bank. States may impose certain restrictions but the federal law which covers this issue does not contain any language concerning firearms.
Look up the Bank Security Act www.fdic.gov and see Code Section 2000 Part 326. It is only two pages long. As long as you are not breaking any OTHER laws, you are federally allowed to carry in banks.
Our bank is particularly gun friendly. We have two local gun shops that bank with us. We also regularly bring in new gun purchases to show them to our customers and coworkers. We've had a few Open Carry folks come in as well. One of our liquor store owners carries a primary and backup when he makes deposits. No problems here.
