It’s hard to conceal carry in hemp clothing.

Exercising your Constitutional rights is “showing off”?

Sad to see this on a site where people supposedly love the Constitution. Disgusting is more apt a term.

Only a matter of time before this happens again now that the environment is being created by Howard Schultz.

No...specifically going to Starbucks to use it as a stage IS “showing off”.

Do you understand the difference between “exercising” and “flaunting”?

That’s funny. Do you think Starbucks would ban Transgenders if they flaunted themselves at Starbucks? I don’t think they would....not even for a second. Hence the blatant hypocrisy which you miss entirely.

Introducing an irrelevant theoretical doesn’t mean that I’m wrong about open carry folks using Starbucks as a stage, or the owner’s right to object.

Why do you believe he’s obligated to provide you with a stage for ANYTHING?

Some did. No argument here. BUT SOME ALWAYS WILL. That is no excuse for banning everyone for the actions of a few.

NOBODY has been “banned”!

He “asked” folks not to.

If you bring a gun into a store when the owner has asked you not to, in PA you can be charged with criminal trespass.

So yes, that is in fact a de facto ban.

While the local Caribou Coffee is changing over to its new owners, I continue to carry in Starbucks.

It is about going home at the end of the day!

So do your open carry someplace else and quit looking for a stage!

You are not owed a stage by anybody.
