Sign that is found at the Chappell Hill Bank in Texas.
According to their website their motto is “Modern Banking with Old Fashioned Courtesy.” Check the pics of the inside of the bank. Five gives you ten the cashier has a coach gun under the counter.
I wouldn’t mind having a branch here in Miami.
Oh, that is refreshing to see. If say a bank with one of those, I’d be there in a heart beat.
Thank you
That’s awesome. Any such places in Oklahoma? I’d move our accounts in a heartbeat.
what part of Oklahoma are you from? i grew up in Bartlesville!
[…] a comment » A picture of a sign appearing on a Texas bank window is on display at Gun Free Zone. Going by that picture I must say it sounds like a bank I’d enjoy doing business […]
[…] I’m guessing you don’t have too many of these in your neighborhood. Wow. […]
God blessed Texas..
Now lets get Open carry back in this great state so they can update the sign
A mule earred coach gun no less…..
It recognizes being armed as an “unalienable right”, but only for people who’ve asked the state for a license? That doesn’t exactly follow. If you have to ask permission, it’s a privilege.
Jonathan: Texas does not have Open Carry. It does have Concealed Carry but if I recall correctly, businesses can prohibit access to people carrying concealed guns.
Criminals do not abide by the law.
Looks like a good place for a Crips-style takeover robbery. Lots of money & guns. What could be better?
Miguel, your last sentence says it all.

The President of my bank needs to see this.
9Fred – Go for it. I’ll enjoy watching the surveillance video.
As for the bank, if they had a branch over here in Frisco, I’d be over there in a heartbeat to open an account.

I took a look at the bank using Google Street View.
Tiny storefront place. I doubt if they’d have a branch anywhere outside of Chappell Hill. Frisco’s a giant metroplex compared to this little place.
I do applaud their policy, however, and wish more businesses would follow it..
http://www.nranews.com/ has an interview with the president of Chappell Hill Bank.
I had thought Texas had restricted the CHL carry in banks, but I just read over the statutes again and I couldn’t find it. Maybe I missed it, but I guess I was wrong.
gmirwin, it is not unusual that what we were told by somebody that did not know a damn thing about GFZs remains with us even after we are supposed to know better. For a long time I thought you could not go into hospitals or pharmacies in Florida while carrying concealed but it was never like that. Somebody told me that and it stuck.
Welcome to East Texas, down here there are a whole new set of rules to play by. It was a culture schock when i moved down here in 1995 and joined one of the police departments .
[…] See the image and the sort of reverse 30.06 sign at: https://gunfreezone.net/index.php/2010/08/07/a-bank-with-guns-zomg/ […]
Good for you! I love this! Everyone has the freedom with license to carry one. This means that the president of the bank has respect and honor. There is nothing wrong with this…
Anyone notice unalienable is spelled incorrectly?
More like a typo?
To Peter. post # 21. This pic was taken right after it went up. The owner was not happy with the misspelling. The sign has been replaced with the correction
This sign is not only appropriate for banks, but for many, many other businesses that wish to be gun friendly!

To those who criticize this sign: How many murders are committed each year by those who have conceal carry permits in their wallet? I’ll guess the answer is somewhere between zero and one.
I love this Bank! I want to open an account with them!
God bless this bank! If I ever relocate from the Left Coast, Chappell Hill might be just the place.

I’d give them my business, gun owner or not. They’re keeping it real.

It’s a sad assumption to make that allowing legal firearms in banks would instantly result in bank robberies. What percentage of crimes are committed with illegally possessed weapons? by people that break the law anyway…. I think having a bunch of individuals with weapons would create a large disincentive to crime… just look at D.C.’s ban on concealed firearms… crime skyrocketed…
Do you think they will ever be robbed? I doubt it. MORE GUNS LESS CRIME!! Take our guns and law abiding citizens become criminals and criminals and police are the only ones with guns.
You will love this one….
