Sooo.... basically they're saying "please stop abusing our everyone-friendly policy by deliberately chasing away half our customer base"
Seems pretty fricken reasonable to me, gentlemen.
A coffee shop is a pretty weak guy to pick on.
Be honest... Do you boycott hospitals, your workplace, grocery stores who ask you not to carry?
My previous post on this topic: http://www.northwestfirearms.com/ev...ee-starbucks-tomorrow-morning.html#post962242
I know it's really hard for people on here to twerk their minds around the concept, having "leftist" and "Democrat" and "progressive" and "liberal" all confused with one another.
Open carriers make ME nervous, and I'm a gun guy.
Obviously you are a lefty gun guy.
I don't open carry anywhere (except the range, obviously) but my best friend does and he's a regular Starbucks customer. He's never open carried there as part of a group - it's just his morning routine. He's never had a problem with anyone. The baristas know him by name, they prepare his drink before he opens the door, and they love him.
He has mixed feelings today. I don't think he's going back.
If you read the open letter, Schultz refers to open carry...but he also clearly asks people not to bring guns into the store or even onto the property.
I wish he hadn't gone that far. I don't think he had to. He could have asked people not to use the stores as rallying points, and requested that if you were going to visit that you keep your weapon concealed for the comfort of people with children, for example. (I know we don't all have CPLs - not trying to be exclusionary, but offer an example of what he could have done.)
No, it isn't a ban - but he was quite clear. Your gun isn't welcome. It's his business, it's his decision, and I respect it. Consequently, no more Starbucks for me. If I am to be shunned in favor of Mom's Demand, I'm not going to pay them for the privilege.
A gun control truth revealed by Starbucks story
Reacting to yesterdays appeal to gun-toters by Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to not carry their firearms into Starbucks coffee shops, Washington Ceasefires Ralph Fascitelli allowed his candor to reveal the true nature of the gun control lobby when he told the Seattle Times this was a good first step.

The antis you run into often change their mind when confronted politely by irrefutable numbers and sources. I don't need "cooked up" studies and fear to make my case. But that's all the antis have. Pop that misinformed bubble and people tend to change their tune unless they are just crazy on the issue. Those people are beyond convincing and immune to all fact and logic and argument. THOSE people, I have nothing but contempt for and I have no problem showing that contempt.
Tell him to still go. They won't do anything. The employees are not allowed to say or do anything if someone open carries in their stores. The request from the CEO was just that.. a request. If this guy is a regular and they know him by name, they won't do anything. They're not even allowed to mention the gun. They were trained this past week on how to completely ignore it and serve their customers just like before. I really think the main point of the request was to leave them out of the debate, stop the appreciation days, rallies in their stores, and using their logos to support the cause. They never wanted any of that and it got out of hand, from people on BOTH sides of the issue.
