found this at another forum I belong to, thought I would pass the word along:
So I got a package in the mail from them with a coupon inviting me to open an account a few weeks ago.
Walked into the branch and sat down to open a personal account. Bank rep says what do you do for work. I say I'm opening a gun store in a few weeks my license is pending and my office is just down the road from here.
He says excuse me, gets up and walks to the manager.
Manager says "Hi, JP Morgan Chase wants nothing to do with firearms or anything related. Your business is not welcome here. Have a nice day."
I'm completely taken aback at this. They're not opening a bank account for me because..... I'm a gun dealer? This dosen't sit right with me. I hop on the computer and write out a short letter to the CEO explaining how absurd I think this is. Dropped it in the mail last week and got a response back today.
Its a form letter with a few modifications but they're pretty clear.
