If they allowed OC they would have gotten it right.

Funny how it says that they recognize the 2nd amendment as an inalienable right, yet they support licensed concealed weapons. WTF? Is it me or does licensing alienate that right?

Beat me to it. Just like Starbucks permitting OC here, that bank is just following the law as it exists.
Well slightly different Starbucks never said they agree or support the 2nd A.

I have carried in several different banks all without event.
Key Bank, and Banner follow state law, ICU (Industrial Credit Union), Peoples and Wells Fargo all have not given me greif.

OC is illegal in Texas.

Shoulda been more specific...

If they allowed OC in Texas then the bank would have gotten it right, maybe. I imagine they would have permitted all lawful carry since they're promoting what's legal. But still... Kind of a contradicting message to me with the "inalienable right" part in there.

Nothing mentioned about this on their home page:
http://www.chappellhillbank.com/

What strikes me as very strange is that the sign is on the inside of the glass looking out onto the street. Wouldn't you have thought it would have been on the outside, visible to customers coming into the bank?

Has anyone seen confirmation of that this sign/policy actually exists?

You're seeing a reflection, if you look 'past' the glass, you can see a wood desk inside...

It is taken from outside.

Read the whole thread man. OC isn't legal in TX. The bank is supporting lawful carry according to state laws. If they encouraged customers to OC, they would be encouraging them to break the law.

It's Texas - OC of a handgun is not legal there.

We do support obeying the law and working to get it changed - right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why we all support a Bill of Rights provision that had at its heart regime change in case the regime became too oppressive with its laws. :D

Which, I guess really means there is more than one way to get the law changed. :D:D

There is a purpose to every season.

You're learning to read between the wines quite well.

As I recall, your state went a little further--not only quitting the compact, but tryin' to chase out the oppressors when they wouldn't leave. :D

Those brass napoleans you play with were not the North's favorite artillery. :D
