This may be on here somewhere, but don't forget to go to Starbucks on Feb 14. Long story short... Anti gun groups lead by the Brady campaign are boycotting Starbucks on Feb 14 due to Starbucks support of open carry laws. Freedom lovers ate encouraged to buy coffee at Starbucks on Feb 14 and feel free to go armed. Open carrying my G23 tomorrow, first time OC'ing.

I don't really go to Starbuck's anyway, mostly because I prefer actual coffee shops rather than their corporate mud...so without making any political statement whatsoever, I won't be at Starbuck's tomorrow.
Fish on...

<= This "anti-gunner" owns plenty of guns...he just doesn't write about them on the InterWebz so everyone knows what he's got, and doesn't send one red cent to the NRA or any other alarmist organization that will take my money and run.
Not "anti-gun"...just "anti-idiot".
Have fun at your "caffiene in"...
Fish on...

whats the point of open carry anyways? it doesnt make you any safer, or cooler.. why get a CONCEALED permit, then carry openly? whats the point? you can still get socked in the mouth, and not legally be able to pull your weapon, and or use it, you know that right?

I open carry a travel mug of coffee all of the time. I also conceal carry in a big thermus when fishing. What's the big deal?
As far as whack jobs worried about gun grabbers I think they should steer clear of caffeine all together.

Don't visit coffee shops and latte's aren't coffee. Black french roast for me. Tea is for English crumpet eaters.

I'm pro gun, but I would feel strangely weirded out wandering into Starbucks and seeing all the customers packing heat.  Did I wander onto a movie set ?

lly Posted By: Starbucks Dear (me): Thank you for contacting Starbucks. Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks' policy on open carry laws. I am truly happy to hear that you support and appreciate our gun policy! At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don't exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited. As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers. We will be happy to see you in our stores today for Valentines Day! Thanks again for writing us to share your feedback and also for your support, have a beautiful day! If you ever have any questions or concerns in the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch! Sincerely,
_________________________

I think Starbuck's and Peet's were under common ownership until the middle 80's...?
