Saw this at another forum. Too bad, Starbucks.
I think, therefore I am armed.

well luckily for us who choose to CC or OC an establishment can put up a sign that says whatever they want, however it does not carry any weight of law unless the property owner decides to charge you with trespassing, In which case you would probably be asked to simply leave and if not authorities would be called.

I have never wanted to go into a starbucks on my own, and never plan to. But if I am carrying I will not let some silly sign at the door stop me. Like I said, a no guns sign on a grocery store or coffee shop does not carry any weight such as one in a courthouse or something along those lines.

Note that Starbucks SPECIFICALLY says not to take ANY action against anyone openly carrying.

If a customer is disruptive, regardless if carrying or not, or what is his/her hair style, is dealt with using general procedures.

So this is a way of appeasing the antis, while actually allowing open carry. There is NO wording there that says anything about even saying a negative comment to a customer openly carrying.

It might actually be a way to give the finger to the antis, while pretending to "comply" so, in fact, I think it is a wonderful solution.

Just more evidence that Starbucks wants nothing to do with this "debate" and really wants to stay neutral. Like I have said before, we should not make their stores a battle ground for demonstrating our right.

Could it also be from the parody shirts and other stuff available as well?

+1 on that FATMANWA

Starbucks is neither the place nor forum to pose the debate of 2A rights. It was gun control advocates and anti-gun libs that started the issue regarding carrying a firearm in Starbucks; it could be posed at any private establishment really. The left will always use dramatic tactics and sensational grand standing to make the loudest "noise", do not feed their fire. It certainly does not mean they are the majority.

Was gonna post that too FATMANWA.  Good move by them imo.  They're not saying their anti-gun, they just don't want to get dragged into any mess.

I also watched Yankees but didn't like as much. Mr. Colion Noir's video is pretty good and was actually mentioned in the Huffington Post, but not in a good way....

Ammo is expensive. I'm not paying 5 bucks for coffee I can make at home just the way I like.
