RSSStarbucks Against the Second Amendment? Ask Customers to Leave Guns at Home
So what part about the Second Amendment and the following of US laws doesn’t Starbucks quite get?
Starbucks Corp, the overpriced coffee chain is asking their US customers who have “open carry” or “conceal carry” permits to leave their guns at home. Starbucks claim that they did not want to get involved in the open carry gun debate, yet they just did. Does Starbucks serve waffles? When a company sides with one side of the debate and restricts the other, that is the definition of taking a side. Just curious, how would you know whether I have carrying or not carrying a concealed weapon while ordering a Pumpkin Spice Latte? The Starbucks’ request does not apply to authorized law enforcement personnel.
A note to Starbucks, none of the mass shootings, especially the one in Newtown, CT was done by an individual who legally could carry a fire arm.Those who believe in the Second Amendment can always chose not to frequent Starbucks following this decision. I guess not spending money I over-priced coffee will allow for the purchase of more ammunition.
Coffee chain Starbucks Corp has asked U.S. customers to leave their guns at home after being dragged into an increasingly fractious debate over U.S. gun rights in the wake of multiple mass shootings.
While many U.S. restaurant chains and retailers do not allow firearms on their properties, Starbucks’ policy had been to default to local gun laws, including “open carry” regulations in many U.S. states that allow people to bring guns into stores.
In August, this led gun-rights advocates to hold a national “Starbucks Appreciation Day” to thank the firm for its stance, pulling the company deeper into the fierce political fight.
Locations for Starbucks Appreciation Day events included Newtown, Connecticut, where 20 children and six adults were shot dead in an elementary school in December. Starbucks closed that shop before the event was scheduled to begin.
Chief Executive Howard Schultz said in an open letter to customers late Tuesday that Starbucks Appreciation Day events “disingenuously portray Starbucks as a champion of ‘open carry.’ To be clear: we do not want these events in our stores.”
I wonder how many Starbucks employees would be thankful if some one legally carrying a gun actually saved them during a commission of a crime? All Starbucks just accomplished was making themselves a gun-free zone and susceptible to future crime by those who do not follow the law.

How would Starbucks ever know if someone was legally carrying concealed? This is just a platitude response to those who fear guns.
The American People are going to have to put a stop to those people who form the tail of the dog on all social issues. When the minority set the social norms, then we no longer have freedom.
I have no use for an anti american company. I will not ever step foot in the place or any buisness I find alike. All real Americans should just say NO to doing buisness with companies like this one.
You know zero about the constitution if you believe you have the right to walk into a Starbucks with an AR 15 strapped to your back.

SM: Are you really that foolish?
And, due to Obamaflation, many I know are brewing their
own coffee at home where their guns are welcomed and
the price is right.
Here’s a plan: Honest law-abiding serfs should
leave their guns at home where the ‘government’
can confiscate them while the serfs sip expensive
coffee at Starbucks.
Fair Dinkum?
Starbuck’s: Stick to coffee & donuts, you jerks!!!
Over priced everything & greasy, burnt coffee at that!!! I’d rather spend 24 hrs. at a Macy’s or
a jewelry store passing out anti-African abuse of
diamond diggers (slavery).
Common civil rights wannabee”s. Stick to coffee & donuts, jerks.
