Hoplophobes Call for Boycott of Starbucks on Valentine's Day Over Gun Policy

[CapGun]

Walt, I think you are a bit off base here. The point of being in business it to be in business making money. The fact that they do not cave into the hysteria against guns sits well with me. They don't have to go out and say come on in with your guns. The fact that they leave it open to the 2A and local laws and do not try to circumvent the law is something I wish was done all over. Adherence and respect for the law!
An example of how important this is can be read on another thread about traveling by plane through airports in NY, Albany, Newark NJ. I don't drink coffee but I will try to make it to a Starbucks if I can find one within 35 miles of me.

Exactly, Walt, it's the idea that Starbucks refuses to bend over for the anti's. Starbucks, tho generally left wing snooty's, have it right in that they are NOT putting "no guns" on their doors. If a state or jurisdiction allows CCW or allows open carry, then you are welcome in their place of business as such. Do I have that right? If so, that's a +1 for them on my scorecard and again, I'm gunna show my appreciation by offsetting at least one of the dumb-a$$ hoplophob's boycotting.

I used to go to one of two other coffee houses (on occasion, for a treat) as they are locally owned. But on the 14th, I'm dropping some cash for some jitters at the west coast based snooty-house of coffee.

Same old BS ... of course they don't give any examples of cases where indeed CCW carriers mowed down the whole crowd because their tall Latte was cold. Probably because that never happened?

I applaud Starbucks for deferring to local laws and not thinking they need to add another layer of restrictions that criminals won't follow anyway and only hassles us, the law abdiding carriers.

Okay... well maybe my tirade was because the coffee is lousy!

Okay, I'll give you this one Tuts. I guess it's the same with any other business that does not impede the 2A by posting the 'no gun' sign when they get pressured.

But their coffee is so bad. Too much chickoree or something. It always tastes burned to me. Now if it were a Seattle's Best, I'm right there!

I'll support them because they support us, he says while he looks down, kicking the ground like a little kid that just got scolded.
