Starbucks is beginning to cave to Anti-Gun demands

[bwaites]

Starbucks is making a sound financial decision. They don't want to drive off a big piece of business by being perceived as not hearing the complaints from the moms who are freaked by guns, but don't want to be perceived as not supporting a right to self defense. Essentially they are saying, "please play nice in our sandbox by not creating an uncomfortable situation for our other customers". It's akin to asking people not to smoke in the establishment. I realize some people have to make a statement, Starbucks is asking that you don't do it there. Carry concealed and all is well, and even if you do open carry, they'll still serve you! They are politely asking that you refrain from making people uncomfortable in THEIR business, I think thats an entirely reasonable request.

I find it interesting that everyone is all bent about Starbucks. I'm not a coffee drinker, but they make a good cup of chocolate too. That said, I typically spend more on 1 trip to Costco than I have spent in ALL my trips to Starbucks, and I know that many gun owners are the same. Costco has a MUCH more restrictive policy than Starbucks. They don't even have to post, because they are a membership business and its in the membership agreement everyone signs. Heck, a guy was killed at a Costco because he was carrying and the staff and cops overreacted.
