I went to my local Suntrust (now Truist) branch yesterday and was very disappointed to
see the gun buster sign posted on their door. I have been openly carrying there since the
day I opened my accounts . I went straight to a manager to express my displeasure and
he tried to assure me that this is probably only temporary, and is an effort to prevent
altercations between customers who disagree about wearing covid masks, and to put bank
workers minds at ease.
He agreed with my logic that criminals do not pay any mind to such signs, and that license
holders are among the most law abiding citizens. Of course, this is not his decision, it comes
from higher up. If I choose to continue doing business with them and conceal, they will all
know it, and will not care, we are on a first name basis. They meet all of my needs and they
have a branch in Blue Ridge where I own property.
The problem is I would rather not give a bunch of antis my business, and fund theirs.
That is why I am seriously looking for a new bank. Does anyone know a 2A friendly bank,
preferably with branches in North Georgia as well as Atlanta? Bank of the Ozarks looks to
have potential, but they have limited number of branches in town, and I don't know if they
are gun friendly.
