Just sent in my "Thank-you" to Starbucks. And thank-you to Chee-to for starting this thread. Always works better to reward good behavior than to punish bad behavior.

The Brady Campaign against gun ownership has a new target. Starbucks. In a recent e-mail the Brady bunch expressed hysteria that Starbucks allowed lawful carry in their coffee shops. "We need to tell Starbucks to bar guns in its stores. These individuals who have been carrying guns into Starbucks have all the firepower of a SWAT team, and none of the law enforcement training."

If you want to let Starbucks know you appreciate their support for your rights, here is their contact info:

So the Brady Campaign gave Obama an "F" for failing to tighten gun laws...

Any of you sending e-mails of support to him?

That doesn't seem right...

I got that same message. Sounds canned and a little half-hearted, but can't really argue with the results!
Visceral, LOL.

Starbucks: Bring on the guns
By Janis Mara
Contra Costa Times

Starbucks has brushed aside a request from a gun control advocacy group to ban the display of guns in its retail locations, saying it will abide by laws that allow patrons to openly carry unloaded weapons.

The national Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence made the request in the wake of a series of meetings in local restaurants over the past few months by Bay Area Open Carry, a group that hopes to make it legal to carry loaded guns in California. Peets Coffee & Tea and California Pizza Kitchen responded to similar requests by banning displays of weapons in the companies' coffeehouses and restaurants.

"Starbucks does not have a corporate policy regarding customers and weapons; we defer to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding this issue," Starbucks' customer relations department said in response to the Brady Campaign's request.

The head of a local chapter of the Brady Campaign was disappointed by the response.

"I don't want someone who carries a gun into a store to be making life-and-death decisions. I don't think it's safe for them to be there," said Griffin Dix, who leads the Oakland-Alameda County chapter, which has more than 500 members and other chapters in San Mateo and Contra Costa counties.

The Brady Campaign has sent e-mails to its approximately 180,000 members nationwide suggesting that they e-mail Starbucks asking the coffee giant to create an anti-gun policy.

An active participant in the Bay Area Open Carry chapter hailed Starbucks' approach.

"We definitely applaud Starbucks for allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and we will continue to patronize them as long as they do," said Brad Huffman, who is also a National Rifle Association-certified instructor and member of Bay Area Open Carry, which lists 610 members on its Facebook page.

Huffman said Open Carry advocates often visit Starbucks displaying unloaded weapons, either during formal events or informally. The Antioch chapter of the group has had about six meetings at a Starbucks there, he said. Other meetings have taken place at a Peet's in San Ramon and in Livermore at Panama Red Coffee Co.

Open Carry has a scheduled an event today in Walnut Creek, but has not announced a location.​

I found this facebook page just today and think that it would be great if everyone would become a member. Wouldn't it be great if there were more members on this page than on the Brady Campaign page? I am going to try and post a link but I am not vary computer savvy so if I can't please go on face book and search it. It is called America Hates the Brady Campaign.
