Legal?

It's been done I hear, but I'm not risking "manner calculated to alarm" language under "Disorderly Conduct" myself ..... too costly.

I admit I carried an 18" double barrel down a main street in Houston MANY times, but it depends on the "attitude" of your city, bank, police ...

Just because it MAY be "legal" it may not be "smart"
1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

I wouldn't risk disorderly conduct, legal fees and suspension of CHL until "proved innocent" if lucky.

I get a kick out of "the obvious"

I was getting mail from my street-side mailbox and someone visiting a neighbor said "What are you scared of?"

I said "nothing,"

he asked "Why you wearin' a pistol then?"

I said "I wear it in the house, why do you think they call them 'Home invasions' "

He laughed and said "so you ain't scared getting your mail?"

I said "Heck no, If I was scared gettin' the mail, I'dda brought the shotgun"

Then, I said something like "I got some live rattlesnakes in my back yard under my 2 sheds if you wanna seeum, they're kinda pretty and keep mice and stuff away" ... he declined and went back in the neighbor's house where he felt safe from snakes.

My bank knows me, and has nothing but a ghostbuster sign, it's so old it's faded and peeling off, (bank is over 100 years old) I doubt they'd ever post a 30.06, but if they did, I'd talk to the manager and if it remained I'd change banks because it's just too much trouble to carry my rifle or shotgun in..

My bank does NOT allow UNLICENSED people to carry Beretta or Taurus pistols, but if you have a CHL, carry whatever you like at my bank ...They have this sign, but no 30.06 sign
