CHAPPELL HILL — Any would-be robbers looking to walk into the bank here had best think twice.

There’s a new sign in town.

About a month ago, Chappell Hill Bank president Edward Smith looked at a sign on the front door prohibiting concealed weapons from his business and decided to make a policy change.

Licensed to carry a handgun? Come on in, and bring your weapon.

The sign, now prominently displayed on the bank’s front door, says, “Lawful concealed carry permitted on these premises. Management recognizes the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as an inalienable right of all citizens. We therefore support and encourage the carrying of licensed concealed weapons.”

Smith said he made the policy change to send a warning to potential robbers, and also to express support to Americans’ right to bear arms.

“We had the sign on the window, the red circle with the pistol inside and a line through it. And I started thinking, ‘We’ve got this no gun sign up and the guy (robber) can come in and do what he wants.

“But if you’ve got a policy allowing handguns, he won’t know how many people are going to be in here carrying a concealed weapon. There may be some little old lady who’s mad at the government, and she’d love to use it,” he said.

The bank has been robbed twice in the last three years, including last March when a Western-attired man walked in, ordered bank employees to fill a canvas bag with money and then fled in a pickup truck. The man, who did not brandish a weapon, has not been caught.

Awesome.

Hopefully we'll get concealed carry in my state one day, we're one of the few states in the country that doesn't allow it.. We have "open carry" but it's a joke. The local municipalities or whatever will call the cops on you and charge you with disorderly conduct.

Even if that's what it means, the constitution is supposed to be something that can be changed overtime.

Let's change it for more freedom then: ordinance would be cool, please, though with a proper range to use it at.

It would be neat to own some cannons, perhaps aboard a remade Man Of War or Galleon. Fire Starboard Cannons! *AWESOME BOOM.*

via amendment yes but if you mean it in the sense that it's a "living constitution" where interpretation can change to fit whatever you want to do then hell no.

Changes to the constitution are supposed to be done that give the people more liberty and make the government's powers diminish.
