Not if it is legal. If it is legal there is no reason for trouble. I have done it a few times just because I forgot that I was carrying at the time. I am just wondering if it is lawful.
of course it's lawful if you don't get caught. lol
but i do think that a bank is one of the locations prohibited.
not 100% on that though.
I am not asking if it is lawful if you don't get caught. I tried to find it on georgiapacking.org but I either overlooked it or it isn't there.
yo B just remember your friends when you suddenly get rich...
i let you drive the evo a few times... remember that...
No
Jason..
and also remember you and i are both white... and that this guy that i'm quoting is NOT!!!
hook me up b... i luh you...
Can you link me to where it says it is unlawful?
Also, did you guys know that the city of Kennesaw requires the head of the household to have a firearm in the house?
I am not trying or wanting to rob a bank. I carry everywhere it is legal for me to do so.
i hate you
yes, thats why kennesaw is the safest city around here...
everyone there has a gun. what criminal is gonna try and do something?
i was just joking dude
i dont believe it is because it is a govt building
A bank is a government building? Is that some sort of Obama joke?
Ed, 2 weeks ago I had someone walk into my apartment at 2am. My wife must have left the door unlocked. Needless to say as soon as they heard me chamber a round I heard the door close. I checked the whole apartment and then went outside, but they were gone. We think it was just some drunk college kid coming home from a party and entering the wrong apartment. Needless to say, I doubt they make the same mistake twice.
damn son. glad he was smart enough to walk away and you guys are ok.
ps. thanks for keeping my gf, shelby, safe.
um no.
Yes, if have a GA firearms license read the back. It clearly states carrying is not allowed at public gatherings, such as sporting events, churches, political rallies, publicly owned/operated buildings, or establishments at which alchoholic beverages are sold for consumption.
Obviously it must be concealed and you must be licensed and have said license in your possession.
So how is a bank a government building?
So it is legal?
Yes if you have a permit.
Thank you, Sam C.
I am still curious how a bank is a government building.....
I would make a call and ask someone personally.
The banks I go to have signs on the door saying "No Firearms". I would imagine that that is pretty common.
A bank is not publicly funded or a government building. Yes, you can carry it in them, but honestly there are just some places you need to leave it in the car. A bank being one of them.
I think any privately owned building should be able to prohibit people from entering with firearms if they want. If I were running a business like a restaraunt, a bar, or a bank... I wouldn't want people shooting up my place.
According to state law, all the owner of the busines can do is ask you to leave. You can not get arrested unless you refuse to leave.
... I wouldn't want people shooting up my place.
WOW, do you not realize that people with a CCW are law abiding citizens? I would welcome people with a CCW to carry in my place. Just wait till the day the psycho walks in with a gun "shooting up your place" and no one has a weapon to defend themselves because u wouldnt allow people with a permit to carry in your place of business.
It would have been unfortunate if he ends up dead. Guns are a double edged sword especially if people are reckless with them - and most people are way too trigger happy.
I'm not against guns (I want one), but it sucks when you can get killed for making an honest mistake. I don't know where to draw the line with guns.
Don't worry about that, it's not. Its a freakin business.
Yeah, what if that bank gets robbed while you are inside? Shoot that mofo.lol As soon as I hit 21(if Obama doesnt fuck it over by then) I'm buying a .40 cal and getting my permit.

Wow, some of you guys need some serious help.
#1. A bank is NOT a "gov't" anything, so that has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.
#2. Most banks that I've walked into have clearly posted signs at the door that say they don't want you in there with any weapons. BTW, so does Wal-Mart. True, technically the worst that can happen is they ask you to leave, but why take a chance? If you're running in for a sec and don't look like some thug, then that may be one thing. If you'll be in there for a long time and make people feel uncomfortable, you're running a chance IMO. 50/50 chance.
#3. Any private business can ask you not to patron there for any reason just about. It is a misconception that you have to have all these warnings or considerations. If they tell you to go, you gotta otherwise you're trespassing. Very black and white in the law.
With all that said, if you don't act like a fool then 99% of the time you'll go unnoticed and unbothered. Act like a grown human and you'll stay away from trouble. Half of you that have met me face-to-face never even realized that I had atleast one weapon on me 99.9% of the time.
The element of surprise is a powerful ally. Remember that. The element of using your noodle is an even more powerful one. Remember that too.
I've never seen a wal mart with a posted sign. I've looked when I carry in there too.
Look for them at the entrance doors. I've seen them before. Maybe they've changed now, hopefully, but I've seen it. I still carry in there, but that's just me.
it's fine. trust me.
but if you open carry then you're just an idiot.
I've only seen the sign posted at Taco mac in kennesaw and my local abc stores.
And drawing way too much attention to yourself.
I've never seen a sign at walmart either and I carry in there all the time
