We're getting pretty far off topic, but that's different in every state, and in some municipalities. In Missouri, it's not a criminal offense. The sign has to be proper, although the standards aren't as exacting as Texas and their various levels of signs. The business owner has to see the gun, has to ask you to leave, you have to refuse, they have to call the cops, they have to ask you to leave, you have to refuse, then you get a municipal summons for a non-criminal infraction. It's like a parking ticket.

ONLY if the bank post a sign are you prohibited.

A friend did that. Got the guns all clean and shiny and was proud he got them into the box without detection. Returned for bank business a few days later and the entire place smelled of clean shiny guns.

Somehow I see this as walking into the bank wearing a mask, telling the bank employees that you have a gun and want to get into the vault...

Everyone should read this before making up their mind whether to utilize a safe deposit box - Safe Deposit Boxes Aren’t Safe - The New York Times

What is really needed is a federal law against making up all sorts of goofball stories about guns in banks.

Banks have zero liability for damages to items in safe deposit boxes.

That’s absolutely incorrect.
Currently, the bank I deal with has a sign on the front door that says “we will not be able serve customers who are not wearing masks”.
So now when I go to the bank I’m carrying a gun while wearing a mask.
Strange times we’re living in.
Oddly enough, Florida has a mask law making it illegal to cover one’s face in public.
876.12 Wearing mask, hood, or other device on public way.—No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter upon, or be or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road, highway, or other public way in this state.
History.—s. 2, ch. 26542, 1951.

Maybe you should store your guns like Jack Benny stored his money.

I believe the mask laws have been over turned by the SCOTUS. Saying it violates the 1st amendment freedom of speech. Protestors fear retaliation.
I don't agree with that, but that's me.

I have kept guns in a safe deposit boxes, never a problem. The vault at my bank does have security cameras, maybe to get pictures of a perpetrator while inside the vault?
One issue with safety deposit boxes came to light with the pandemic, access. Access required explanations and authorizations (just short of explaining what you wanted to do and why) then arrangements to be let into the bank and vault.

All I had to do was call and say “I need to get in my safe deposit box.”
“9:30 good?”
“Yup. See ya’ then . . . “

I worked for a bank that has a branch in a flood zone. One spring they had the most of the boxes filled with muddy water. Lots of contents were ruined.
