Discussion came up about Carry in a bank after a bank robbing yesterday at my bank.
For some reason I went to another branch or I would have been right in the middle of the whole deal

Looking at the laws it looks like it would be OK.

I was under the impression/dreamed up for some reason that a bank, post office and federal court building were off limits.

Then I looked at my license and the MSP website and no mention of these as off limits

Legal or no?

Thanks

This is correct.

MCL 750.234d makes it illegal to possess a firearm on the premises of a bank, among other locations; however, CPL holders are exempt.

MCL 28.425o makes it illegal for a CPL holder to carry a concealed pistol in certain locations, but a bank is not one of them.

A CPL holder may carry a pistol in a bank, whether open or concealed. A person that does not hold a CPL may not carry a pistol in a bank.

As for post offices federal courts, those are federal property and you may not carry inside. Federal property falls under different law. A federal reserve bank would be the one bank you may not carry into, but I don't foresee many of us ever visiting a federal reserve.
