It's private property. They can tell you you can't carry there, and trespass you if you refuse to cooperate, but there is no law against carrying in a bank or taking your business elsewhere if they get pissy about it.

(1) It is unlawful for any person to enter the following places when he or she knowingly possesses or knowingly has under his or her control a weapon:

    (a) The restricted access areas of a jail, or of a law enforcement facility, or any place used for the confinement of a person (i) arrested for, charged with, or convicted of an offense, (ii) held for extradition or as a material witness, or (iii) otherwise confined pursuant to an order of a court, except an order under chapter 13.32A or 13.34 RCW. Restricted access areas do not include common areas of egress or ingress open to the general public;

    (b) Those areas in any building which are used in connection with court proceedings, including courtrooms, jury rooms, judge's chambers, offices and areas used to conduct court business, waiting areas, and corridors adjacent to areas used in connection with court proceedings. The restricted areas do not include common areas of ingress and egress to the building that is used in connection with court proceedings, when it is possible to protect court areas without restricting ingress and egress to the building. The restricted areas shall be the minimum necessary to fulfill the objective of this subsection (1)(b).

    For purposes of this subsection (1)(b), "weapon" means any firearm, explosive as defined in RCW 70.74.010, or any weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or any knife, dagger, dirk, or other similar weapon that is capable of causing death or bodily injury and is commonly used with the intent to cause death or bodily injury.

    In addition, the local legislative authority shall provide either a stationary locked box sufficient in size for pistols and key to a weapon owner for weapon storage, or shall designate an official to receive weapons for safekeeping, during the owner's visit to restricted areas of the building. The locked box or designated official shall be located within the same building used in connection with court proceedings. The local legislative authority shall be liable for any negligence causing damage to or loss of a weapon either placed in a locked box or left with an official during the owner's visit to restricted areas of the building.

    The local judicial authority shall designate and clearly mark those areas where weapons are prohibited, and shall post notices at each entrance to the building of the prohibition against weapons in the restricted areas;

    (c) The restricted access areas of a public mental health facility certified by the department of social and health services for inpatient hospital care and state institutions for the care of the mentally ill, excluding those facilities solely for evaluation and treatment. Restricted access areas do not include common areas of egress and ingress open to the general public;

    (d) That portion of an establishment classified by the state liquor control board as off-limits to persons under twenty-one years of age; or

    (e) The restricted access areas of a commercial service airport designated in the airport security plan approved by the federal transportation security administration, including passenger screening checkpoints at or beyond the point at which a passenger initiates the screening process. These areas do not include airport drives, general parking areas and walkways, and shops and areas of the terminal that are outside the screening checkpoints and that are normally open to unscreened passengers or visitors to the airport. Any restricted access area shall be clearly indicated by prominent signs indicating that firearms and other weapons are prohibited in the area.

    (2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:

    (a) Restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, section 24 of the state Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; and

    (b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:

    (i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 (CPL––found this interesting) or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or

    (ii) Any showing, demonstration, or lecture involving the exhibition of firearms.

    (3)(a) Cities, towns, and counties may enact ordinances restricting the areas in their respective jurisdictions in which firearms may be sold, but, except as provided in (b) of this subsection, a business selling firearms may not be treated more restrictively than other businesses located within the same zone. An ordinance requiring the cessation of business within a zone shall not have a shorter grandfather period for businesses selling firearms than for any other businesses within the zone.

    (b) Cities, towns, and counties may restrict the location of a business selling firearms to not less than five hundred feet from primary or secondary school grounds, if the business has a storefront, has hours during which it is open for business, and posts advertisements or signs observable to passersby that firearms are available for sale. A business selling firearms that exists as of the date a restriction is enacted under this subsection (3)(b) shall be grandfathered according to existing law.

    (4) Violations of local ordinances adopted under subsection (2) of this section must have the same penalty as provided for by state law.

    (5) The perimeter of the premises of any specific location covered by subsection (1) of this section shall be posted at reasonable intervals to alert the public as to the existence of any law restricting the possession of firearms on the premises.

The person may reclaim the firearms upon leaving but must immediately and directly depart from the place or facility.

Banker here.

Concealed carry is fine and legal.  Open carry might get some attention, so just untuck your shirt to cover your piece and don't scare my cute young tellers, please (unless you are Loomis or Wells Fargo).  You never know, some of them bankers may just be armed themselves, or so I hear.  Feel free to rob us and leave quietly, but hurt somebody and hell-fire may open up unexpectedly (not directed at anyone replying here).  Money is replaceable, people aren't.  

I confused one Loomis man when I asked him how he liked his model 66.  He had no idea what I meant.

Quoted:

Isn't there a sign on liquor stores, "Over 21 only"? If so, no go....

Quoted:


Liquor stores are not restricted to 21 and over.  Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

I open carried everyday when I used to go to the bank daily.

Liquor store clarification:

In WA state liquor stores are not 21 and over establishments.

They are 21 and over unless acompanied by an adult. There is a difference.

Since all the liquor stores are also currently run by the state, they also can not set a no firearm policy (same as city parks, dmv, so on).

So if you come across any liquor store that has a no firearms sign or they try and give you grief about it, contact the state liquor board and they will correct the issue quickly (they have been fantastic about doing this in the past).

Edit: And I OC in my bank all the time.

My teller was like 'well, of course you are.'

Quoted:

and although concealed means concealed, I"ve often open carried into a liquor store & not one word has been said

those few liquor stores that ban firearms (or at least try to) are in direct violation of state preemption & there is no avenue for prosecution if someone should turn sheeple & call in a MWAG

Quoted:
Banks are OK with it as long as you notify them as you enter.  The preferred method is to unholster your firearm, hold it over your head and yell out "I've got a gun!".  They would appreciate this MO at the airports as well.  No need to thank me.

Quoted:



You do know that some liquor stores in WA are privately owned businesses, on privately owned property, run by employees that do not get their paychecks from the state, don't you? Stevenson is a prime example of this scenario. If they don't want anyone in there with a gun, and they ask you to leave, and you refuse, you are not trespassing?

Umm... What?

Tell me one liquor store in this state that isn't run by the liquor board and I will tell you one that is illegal.

As far as I am aware, the only people who can sell spirits besides the state are the actual manufacturers at their location. (Example, Dry Fly selling out of their distillery location in Spokane).
