Indy Fifth Third Bank No Carrying Sign

There is no Indiana law against carrying a firearm into a bank - and Speedway can only regulate the possession of firearms in municipally-owned property - not anywhere else. Indiana state law preempts local regulation of firearms with two exceptions - municipally-owned property and using local zoning laws to prohibit the sale of guns within 200 feet of a school - unless the gun store was there prior to April 1, 1994. See Ind. Code 35-47-11-2.

My bad. Sorry for the caused confusion. Hadnt read the no carry places in awhile, and for some reason thought banks were listed.

I MAY be mistaken, but, I've heard of this misconception MANY times over the years. I believe it starts with a law prohibiting firearms in "Federal Reserve Banks", and U.S. Mints.

I have no references to this law/statute.

You're absolutely right - it is a crime to carry a firearm into any "federal facility," with the exception of some federal parks for lawful hunting. See 18 USC 930. That doesn't apply to state banks.

It's a no carry if it's a Federal Reserve bank.

I carry in banks all the time, have been doing it for roughly 20 years, I've never seen a NO GUN sign on any bank branch I've ever been to. I carried into the bank today, they have a sign on the door that says NO SUNGLASSES, NO HATS, NO HOODS but nothing about guns. My wife used to be a VP/Commercial Banker at 5/3rd and I never saw a sign on the door, but I admit its been a couple years since I've been into a 5/3rd branch.

That No Sunglasses, No Hats, No Hoods sign cracks me up. I'm guessing this was M&I Bank?

Man I hope it is never cold and sunny out where that bank is because that is my normal dress.

A zip up hoodie when it is cool out or under my normal jacket if it is really cold out, and my eyes are light sensitive so I always have a pair of shades with me. Wonder if I should swith to OC instead of CC maybe they will see it and realize I am one of the good guys.

Hmmm was getting ready to take the dog out when I started this post, took her out and happened to look in the hallway mirror. Guess I do look kinda like the unibomber with the hood and shades, maybe if I shave?!?!
