[Uncle Miltie]

What say you?

[yldstrk]

who needs ya Starbucks, if all you want for customers is dipshit hippie types who think they are better than the rest of us and are totally dishonest, you took a big step toward that

[RedStateGuyTrappedinCT]

Are there hordes of people bringing guns into Starbucks.

Does this include cops? Most 7-11s and McDonalds give cops free coffee to encourage them to hang around and keep the criminal element out. Does Starbucks do this?

[rktman]

Even if all the gun rights supporters stop going it will probably have minimal effect on their bottom line. They must have gotten “THE phone call”.

[Red in Blue PA]

Adios Starbucks.

I have your Gold Card; my business must not mean a lot to you.

[YHAOS]

I hope that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz understands all he has done is establish 1400 more Free Kill Zones.

[Amagi]

I will honor Schultz's request.
My gun and I will stay away from Starbucks for at least as long as Starbucks continues this policy.

[tgusa]

Note: Starbucks’ website has just gone down, at least for me.

[Rappini]

To be honest I have never been in a Star Bucks and besides it would probably take me 30 minutes to figure out what kind of coffee I should buy.

[jersey117]

Won’t be bringing my cash either.... Not that I ever did.

[Iron Munro]

Too many of the Starbucks “Friends” demographic going wee-wee at the sight of evil “assault pistols”?

[Resolute Conservative]

Don’t patronize them anyway, but why would you want to pay $6 for some swill served by a guy with sleeve tats and obongo ear rings?

[Uncle Miltie]

Can someone photoshop in a red "X" and repost in the clear, please?

[CGASMIA68]

Morning Joe an ultra lib shows main sponsor...Hummmm

[PLD]

I like Duncan Donuts coffee lots more than I do Starbucks..

[cloudmountain]

I will avoid Starbucks like the plague.
Arrogance. Mr. Schultz reeks of it. Who the hell does he think he is?

[justice14]

Yeah, I’m not stopping going to Starbucks.

[AKinAK]

Carry concealed if you have a permit, if not, get one.

[tgusa]

It’s worth noting that a recent poll (not sure where) rated McDonald’s coffee better in taste than Starbucks. Don’t know if I agree, but I will sure be shopping around now. Damned shame.

[Candor7]

I’ll take my coffee black, and carry.
