How about leaving our money at home too?
I left Starbucks 6 months ago when they came out in support of gay marriage. Pay them no mind.
This is so thoughtful, so well considered, so high-minded! Now Starbucks will be safe because when the bad guys read that guns are not allowed, well, they’ll just leave their weapons out in the car! Liberal thinking at its most refined.
If they got the orders right, people wouldn’t feel so inclined.
Proud to say I’ve never spent a dime at Starbucks
after all the gun owners held ‘starbuck appreciation days” they have the nerve to come out and say they don’t want to be associated with those events or be known as a champion of gun rights...
Looks like they did not enjoy the ‘chik-fil-a’ treatment- time to give them the ANTI ‘chik-fil-a’ treatment
Businesses and organizations who ban gun, ought to be held to strict liability standards, that anyone hurt at one of their stores should be able to sue the corporation to recover damages, as they were not allowed to use the most effective means of self defense. It’s Starbucks responsibility.
As a daily concealed carrier, how will Starbucks even know I have my piece?
So Starbucks is now a Gun Free Zone.....err, Free Fire Zone.
No thanks.
Don’t go.
Isn’t this a result of yesterday’s news about an open-carry woman getting harassed by an anti-gun customer in a NH starbucks?
The letter should have addressed his hostile customer base and asked that they leave fellow patrons alone.
In Texas, if you put up your 30.06 sign as required by law, then I cannot legally carry in your establishment. Otherwise, screw you.
But will the violent criminals respect their wishes?
Starbucks has created a new Free Kill Zone!
It’s their right, and it’s my right to not patronize the place.
This just in, armed robberies at Starbucks locations spike 83% nationwide....
Gun free zones are safe! Ask the victims at the Washington Navy Yard.
I guess it’s the libertarian streak in me, but I don’t really see a problem with this. Starbucks owners have every right to tell people they don’t want them to bring guns into their stores. Of course, gun owners have every right to refuse to patronize Starbucks.
They have the right to do this, but it may not have been a wise decision on their part. I think there are more gun owners than they realize.
“Starbucks asks U.S. customers to leave guns at home”
How asinine ! So do they figure you’ll go there in the morning leaving your gun at home, then get the gun afterwards, perhaps go to work, then go home at the end of the day to drop the gun off before getting another coffee and be unsafe the entire time you’re transferring your gun?
Perhaps Starbucks could be a better enterprise if they provide lockable gun cubicles within the store “to check” their weapons like a lot of jails do prior to entry?
Note to armed robbers.... No one will oppose you in starbucks...
We quit Starbucks a long time ago and got a Tassimo machine.
