And now Starbuck’s has “requested” customers not bring concealed weapons to their place of business. Expect more attempted armed robberies at these locations, and/or mass gun slaughters.
Unwarranted hysteria at the very sight of a hand-held weapon is exactly the wrong response to the visual stimulus, and only contributes to the feeling of exuberance and power the gunman wants to exert. In his head, this is some kind of “fun”.
Obedience to the good manners of society includes taking immediate steps to suppress the exhibition of very bad behavior, the more quickly the better. In an analogy, it is rather like taking a fire extinguisher to a small grease fire on the stove, as contrasted with calling the fire department after a great deal of property damage has been done and possible loss of life has occurred.
If you do not have the effective fire extinguishers immediately available, the small fire cannot be contained.
“And now Starbuck’s has “requested” customers not bring concealed weapons to their place of business.”
If I weren’t already boycotting them for giving money to baby killers, I would make a point of open-carrying in their stores.
Starbucks, as a privately owned company, has the right to run its business as it sees fit. I have the right to purchase my coffee elsewhere. Not a problem for me because anyone who frquents Starbucks after this announcement knows the risk. No complaints, no whining, and no sympathy from me to the future victims.
