After checking the entrance of several branches of the bank in question it seems the problem is only those branches inside the city limits of Beaumont. The branch in Vidor has no signs posted nor do any of the branches that are in buildings owned by others. (They have branches in the local Super Walmarts and some supermarkets.) Since I live in Vidor, and the branch here is unposted, I guess I'll keep my money here. I think it may be a individual branch manager option rather than corporate policy.MoJo wrote:No, these were real honest to goodness 30.06 signs in both English and Spanish and may have only been at the particular branch I was visiting at the time.nemesis wrote:Was it actually a legal PC 30.06 notice or just a generic "no guns" sign?
I don't know if I have ever seen a legitimate PC 30.06 but I see a lot of valueless "no guns allowed" signs around here.
I was in the bank today, well armed, but I didn't see the almost invisible "crossed out pistol" decal on the door. I follow the law when the law is posted but I pay no attention to trivia or notices of no consequence.
I am going to look farther into this.

Banks, etc.
My bank was reciently aquired by another firm, shortly afterward a I noticed a 30.06 notice. I asked a bank employee about this and was told - - - "Oh that, it's Federal Law." I have noticed other banks in the area don't have notices. What is the actual law regarding carry in Banks?
The 30.06 notice has very little effect on my activities with this bank since I have my paycheck on direct deposit and I use the drive through for most other business. I am concerened with security if the bad guys realize I'm not armed leaving the building.
Another thought, there were several armed bank robberies in my area in the last year. All of these were at small branches that had no armed security. I can't help but think the robbers might have thought twice if they weren't sure no one was armed inside the bank.
