When I first went to work at Alcatel, they had a "captive" branch of a credit union right on campus, and it was very convenient to direct deposit, and then walk in to cash a check while on a ten minute break. When Alcatel moved me to a different building, I began to go to the local off site branch, but saw their 30.06 sign and wrote to them objecting to their policy and removing all of my accounts. I got a call from the branch manager (not high enough up as far as I was concerned, although her title was "Vice President") asking me to come in and talk about it. I consented to go in, stated my issues, countered her "safety of the employees and customers" bafflegab, and still removed my accounts. FWIW, she said she actually agreed with me, but "corporate policy . . ." at which point I told her that as she was a Vice President it was my opinion that the first step to changing back corporate policy was referring issues through the chain of command along with the effective arguments against such policies, and that was the end of it.

A short while later that credit union became a bank, and the signs came down, but I still don't do business there, but it makes me wonder why credit unions?

But that LEO is not there to protect you, and has no obligation to, so you're no safer. And, according to some of the open carry opponents I've talked to, the LEO, being openly armed, is most likely to be the first target anyway.
