pardon the ignorance on this, but why are anti-gun people boycotting Evil Coffe Giant INC? no clue what the connection may be.
Maybe the baristas are packin' more than just espresso these days?? :dunno:
The anti gunners want Starbucks to ban guns in stores. Starbucks has always said they are not taking one side over another. Starbucks says that the customers should just follow the state law. So, here in OH, I can CCW or open carry in the stores. :thumbsup:
I stopped by Starbucks this morning and bought a Carmel Apple Spice and a piece of cinnamon swirl coffee cake.

Starbucks often makes the news because they support gun rights and don't outright ban firearms in their stores (unless the state/local law overrides them). Anti-gunners caught wind of this and freaked out because they think Starbucks is now a dangerous place. The obviously aren't aware that people carry firearms around them every day...

so... the anti-gun people are actively trying to infringe on a business's right to decide how they want to operate? huh.
setting aside coffee prejudices and getting a quad espresso today on principle.

Call it a coincidence, but anti-gun people are most always anti-rights (though, most of them don't realize it)
Hmm sounds like a political party I know. Grabbing a Venti Carmel Machiato with two extra shots.

I'm not scared.. I carry everyday. lol

+1 as well :starrylov
I love how much concealed carrying has grown lately. It's gotten to the point where even my "non-gun" (not anti-gun) friends are even starting to ask questions and accept it as everyday life.
Spot on with that statement!
^^^^ And that is what they should do! Follow state laws, thats what they are in place for. Asking them to have some special agenda based on your views seems really off base to me?
This is just dumb. Guns don't kill people, if they did then; Forks would make you fat, cars would make you crash, pencils would make spelling errors, and so on. Smart gun rights and education create a safer society.

You silly naive noobs... this is all a Starbucks marketing ploy and reading how many of you are going to Starbucks today to show support (that normally don't like Starbucks), sounds like it's working!
