The sign says something to the effect(no pic cause phone was on charge in car)
Please Remove Hats, Sunglasses, and Weapons Before Entering
I guess I should just carry them inside my hat along with my sunglasses into the bank.
Wouldn't a sign saying "Please Don't Rob This Bank"? have the same outcome.
I called and spoke to a media guy whose number I found for investors. He said believe it or not that putting up a sign telling people to remove their hat works to deter robberies. The folks inside the branch are supposed to ask folks to remove their hats as well. I assume this pertains to firearms but mine was carried concealed today as I had some Dr's appointments so I can't say.
This was my first visit to this branch. I do not think the Jasper branch is posted.
I was told this is corporate policy.
He also said he supports gun rights(he mentioned NRA) but that I have to understand they are a private company. I said I did and that I as a private citizen will exercise my right to go elsewhere if they leave up a sign that discriminates against me.
I am supposed to get an email from their head of security. I will post when I receive.
I joined this bank when it was a local bank called Crescent Bank. I had zero issues, but in 2010 or 2011 it failed and Renasant took it over.
Edit: Here is the pic from Jasper location. Thanks so much to UtiPossidetis for doing that.
Edit 2: I do not think the Canton location has "caps" or "hoods" on it.
