Does your bank have armed guards?

Yes. It's a credit union, and you have to buzzed in. It's been that way 12 years I've been there.

I deal with 5 banks between personal and business accounts every month. The only bank that has an armed guard is Bank of America. He stands outside the bank at the entrance. I always feel so sorry for him when we are having crappy, cold and snowy weather. He's been there for the 7 years I have been going there. They closed the drive through 2 years ago, so you have to go inside to do banking with them unless you use the ATM, which I can not.

Not that I have seen but that doesn’t mean people in the bank aren’t carrying, it’s a military bank.
The Bank of America in my town does have a guard outside every day.

The grocery has armed security. Or at least people who have conceal/carry permits that act like security guards. Look for the young guy not wearing weather appropriate clothing walking with a purpose.

mine has a rent-a-cop who mostly hangs out near the ATM

No, bank employees are told to hand the money over and press alarm after the perpetrator leaves. They really don’t protect the money very much except for the million cameras in the bank. Not counting safe deposit boxes the one local branch only had $12,000 on hand a larger withdrawal would need to be scheduled or a tellers check.

So no here the kids are protected more than the bank.

There are 4 security personnel ( no firearms ) and 1 or 2 local police officers depending on the day. On dare days there are 2 officers on non dare days only 1 officer. Schools have been locked and you need to buzz in since the attack on the girls in the small Amish school in PA in 2006.

The campus could be more secure for things like sports activities, concerts and festivals though. A music festival was cancelled this weekend in NJ due to a threat. That would be hard to secure with so many schools that attend these festivals.

Not at my bank - Navy Federal Credit Union.

Now, at my military medical clinic and hospital, that is another story.

Nope.

It's been years since I actually stepped foot inside a bank, but no - there are no armed guards in our banks. 

Local credit union and nope.

I haven't seen a guard in a US bank since i was a kid. 

Yes, my bank does (did) have an armed guard and also multiple greeters at the entrances. Everyone is noticed/engaged with when they enter the building. I do the majority of my banking online or through the mail as I don't live near my bank anymore and it doesn't have branches. It is in a large city. I doubt the local branches around here have guards. You'd think the money they are saving by not having guards they could invest in higher definition security cameras though. All the suspect video grabs I see on the news from bank robberies are 1980's grainy.

I worked at a bank for eight years in a number of branches and none of the locations I worked at had any armed guards other than the guys that came to pick up and drop off the cassettes to load in the ATM machines, not even when I worked downtown in a major city. We now use two different banks and neither one of those has guards either.

I worked at that grocery store.. pretty sure there wasn't one to be found.  There is store security.. but they don't carry anything.. and they would have to be hired by the bank I would guess.
