Bank Carrying

[Rookie]

Our banks and the Post Office ar4 not posted. The hospital has "no firearms" signs on the doors. The Owensboro, KY hospital has "no concealed weapons " signs prominently posted on all the doors.

Just because they have a sign doesn't mean you can't legally carry there.

Being in KY, of course, different laws apply. Does KY permit businesses to post signs with the force of law, unlike IN? I've seen similar signs when working in Louisville. (God I'm glad to not be working that job anymore.)

Blessings,

Sorry, I thought we were talking about Indiana. Ohio does allow signs to legally bar you from entering. I wanted to get a pic while I was in Ohio, but I couldn't due to traffic. A transformer station had a sign stating no firearms - I thought it was kinda funny...

I normally don't carry in bank was always leary of a hyper man or woman getting excited and doing a 911 if for some reason they may see it , i don't like the felony position .

Banks are privately owned,If they have a sign indicating no guns,they can ask you to leave.postal is goverment owned.As far as a being considered a federal building im not 100% sure.The best bet is to ask a clerk at your local post office to make sure.....

Let's muddy the water some more. How about having a handgun in your car in the parking lot at a VA facility or a SocSec office?

Postmaster said post offices have not been federally owned for years.

Just because they have a sign doesn't mean you can't legally carry there.

But it does mean they have a right to kick you out and even possibly tresspass you.

They have the right to ask you to leave regardless of any sign. You are not violating any law unless you then refuse to leave.

At the post office in Madison, there is a sign in the lobby stating firearms are prohibited on post office property and it is a federal offense to do so.

And then I will take my business elsewhere. If they don't want my business, all they have to do is ask.

Well then you might have a problem cause as far as I know there isn't to many hospitals that let you carry........ I'm just saying.

The local hospital has a fancy sign about guns - it hasn't stopped me. What they don't know doesn't hurt them.

"What they don't know doesn't hurt them."
ya thats my motto as well...sometimes they find out though...like when i was at the doctor, and i lean back on the butcher paper and hear "could you please pull up your shirt". boy was that doctors face red!! man he starts nervously spouting questions about why i am carrying and to not do it again! total freakout.
his explanation on why it was "prohibited", "seeing a gun (concealed!?!?!) could excite a psychiatric patient and cause them to become dangerous"!??!! are you kidding me, dangerous patients is great reason to keep a gun around!

I know of a friend that carried into my bank and they made him leave and put his gun away. they were nice about it so it wasnt a bad ordeal.
