My bank has a little sign with a gun and a red circle, but the lettering says, "Firearms may not be carried openly." So they are fine with CC. They also had a sign that said masks are required before entering. Now I don't wear a regular mask. I wear a bandana because of my hearing aids. The ear loops on a mask cause trouble with the hearing aids and tend to pull them off my ears when I take off that kind of mask.

So anyway, here I walk into the main bank lobby with my Resistol hat on and a bandana up over my nose and a full size 1911 on my hip under my shirt. My bank uses police officers for security, and one was sitting at a desk just inside the door. I glanced his way, and he spotted the bulge under my shirt. I paused for a step, looked at him and just sort of shrugged my shoulders. He really didn't react, and I was tempted to go talk to him to alleviate any suspicions he might have, but instead I just kept walking. I spoke to a teller, who directed me to a desk where I signed in and went into the vault and got something out of my safe deposit box.

On the way out, a different police officer was sitting at the desk, and he also looked me over carefully. They were just doing there job, so I wasn't the least put off by their scrutiny. But I will say, it still feels very, very weird walking into the bank armed while wearing a bandana over my nose. But kudos to my bank for allowing us to carry there.
