So much for the praises of BB&T

I sang their praises regarding their policy of not loaning to developers who get their property via eminent domain. It’s a good thing. Sadly, they post signs saying you can’t carry weapons in their Virginia branches. I won’t be switching banks after all.

I’m fully aware it’s their right to post such a sign but it’s my right not to patronize their place of business.

    Seriously, there are banks that do not post such signs?

  2. Manish Says:

    so who is your current bank and what is their policy on lending to private developers who abuse eminent domain? And what is their policy on allowing guns in their branches?

    Personally, I’ve sworn off of choosing companies based on their political policies.

  3. SayUncle Says:

    Cinomed, yes.

    Manish, probably a good rule.

    One word: Credit Unions.

    I don’t recall ever seeing such a sign in a bank in Washington State. While I suspect such signs do exist somewhere, I cannot recall ever seeing one in any building aside from some government facilities.

    I wonder if their prohibition of firearms allows them some sort of angle on people who bring guns into a bank vis-a-vis tort action???

    you know honestly I don’t have a CHL so I don’t generally pay attention to the signs as much as I probably should. (Rambuntious youth bars me from CHL in Texas)

    Most places I tend to go have alcohol sold there so the sign is always there (Sounds bad I know)
    I just rarely ever go INTO a bank.

    I think I am with Manish though, sure the occasional “I don’t like X company for Z reason” is ok, last time I tried to catalouge them all it was insane.

  8. R. Neal Says:

    You mean there are banks somewhere that allow customers to bring guns into their branches?

    One word: Credit Unions

    Credit unions allow guns?

  9. Ravenwood Says:

    I’ve never noticed a “no guns” sign on my credit union. And for what it’s worth, the gun banning bank Wachovia wasn’t anti-gun until they were bought by First Union and adopted their anti-gun policy.

    Regardless, a no-guns sign doesn’t work. If it did, why not just put up a “no robbing allowed” sign.

  10. foo Says:

    if it’s a concealed weapon, who in the hell is going to know that you have a gun in the bank in the first place?

  11. Jeremy Nimmo Says:

    Probably a little late, but there’s such a thing as concealed metal detectors.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
