This been covered? "Financial establishment" in Wal-Marts, etc

Burnsy87:
Couple friends were warned by a CCW instructor not to carry in Wal-marts and the like even if they're not posted IF there is a bank inside.

There any legal weight to this?  I don't remember it from my class, but it may have been covered, it's been awhile.

GreyGeek:
Walmart is not posted.  IF you were to buy a gun there how could you transport it outside the store IF there was a bank associated with the store?   The bank isn't in the store proper, so from my POV it means that I don't do any banking at banks with entrances into Walmart.

Burnsy87:
That was my argument, you aren't walking into a bank, you're walking into a supermarket or whatever.

gsd:
I think the standard is to not directly do business with the financial establishment in question. You are still free to conduct business with the original building occupant, as the financial institution only leased a small area of the building.

However, I am sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

SemperFiGuy:
This bank-in-store/supermarket situation is the kind of grey area in the law that requires the application of case law to establish some clearer rules.

Same way, the liquor-establishment-with-50%-more/less-sales from alcoholic beverages.

And some others.  Like...

What--exactly--is official contact with an LEO??

Not to mention (a) what if the LEO doesn't give your handgun back after the traffic stop and also (b) doesn't provide a receipt for the handgun.

And the vague "No Handguns/No Weapons" signage rules.

There are more; those are enuf for now.
