I can tell you you're OK in a Wachovia branch. Looks the same for a Wells Fargo branch, but can't speak for all of 'em. Never seen anything to the contrary in any of the WFC Branches I've been to though.ClarkLZeuss wrote:So a buddy and I are heading back from the range on Saturday, and we pull into a bank so I can make a quick deposit. There's no drive-thru, so I have to go inside. It's a Wells Fargo, which I haven't seen 30.06s on before (at other branches), plus I've scanned to be sure. I'm about to go in, holstered, but then my buddy says, "Wait! You can't go in there armed." Now, he just did his renewal and I got my plastic just a few months ago. Banks didn't come up in either of our classes, so we have a short discussion about it in the car. We agree that we haven't seen anything in the law about banks, but maybe it's not the best idea to go into one armed, you know, just in case.
Afterwards, we laughed about it, and it really got me thinkin. And wonderin: have any of you voluntarily disarmed before going in somewhere, just to be safe? Are there places you know you can go into armed, but you still don't?
Check out this link http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/texas.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It has the list of prohibited places. Also, your instructor should have covered these in class and provided you with a copy of the statute. IMO, it is really important for a CHL to have these memorized and know where they can and can't carry.ls6tt wrote:Sorry to post here, but is there a sticky or a thread that lists the places you are or not allowed?

might help others and there might be ones I dont even know.
Being as how you just took your class and received your CHL 2 days ago I'm surprised you don't know where you can and cannot pack. I keep my Tx CHL laws and statutes book with me at all times. It has come in handy several times quoting actual law/statute rather than "I read", "I think", etc...ls6tt wrote:Sorry to post here, but is there a sticky or a thread that lists the places you are or not allowed?

sadly, based on the reply i received above, I can see where people might just be scared.bryang wrote:I would hope that there are not anyone out there that is scared to ask a question on THIS forum!! We all had to start somewhere and there is no such thing as a dumb question and you should not be afraid of anyone jumping all over you...it just don't work that way here. If it is important to you, it's important to us.
There will be many here more than willing to help.

I greatly appreciate your reply
The CHL book sorta has things scattered all over the place, I believe if there is a list it could be handy to have a list of such places to help memorize. There is short term memory and long term memory, the information gathered in 10 hours could be tough to retain it all once the test is done with.wcb wrote:Being as how you just took your class and received your CHL 2 days ago I'm surprised you don't know where you can and cannot pack.
