Well, so much for trying to shift the scenario to another likely scenario not involving banks.
As for the backlash against banks and the no gun signs. All I can say is it must be nice living in Texas. If you refused to do business with any bank or credit union around here that displays no gun signs then you would be operating with cash only. Do you have a major credit card issued by a mega bank? Do their physical locations prohibit legal carry? Probably. Do you still carry their card?
In my area (and I won't get anymore specific than that) I know of one bank branch that was forced by corporate to post a no gun sign. There are two entrances. Corporate supplied one sign. This was intentionally not brought to corporate's attention. The one sign was placed on the least used door and not in the direct line of sight. That's the best the local folks could do in protest and still comply with corporate policy. So if you don't do business with all businesses that display the signs you might be harming gun friendly employees too. And those gun friendly employees will probably follow a Don't Ask Don't Tell protocol if you go about your business and don't push the issue.

I agree.There is a reason they call it "concealed" carry.
only one bank in my area that has the "no guns" sign HSBC. I don't do business with them.2. Go to another bank which does allow you to carry inside. (I rather suspect you'll have an extremely difficult time finding any such banking institution.)
That would be the proper solution in Ohio as well, with the proviso that any magazines or speedloaders left in the vehicle with the non-licensed person would also have to be unloaded. If you carried them into the posted business, they would not have to be, and there is no ban on carrying ammunition (or loading devices) into a posted facility.I think you're correct in that unloading it and stowing it in the trunk would be the only legal option. Unfortunate to say the least.
