WOW! Starbucks has some big ones....

Basically, Starbucks has publicly stated that they will continue to uphold the state laws and allow (where it's legal) for "gun groups" to gather in their stores.  To publicly reply and state they will continue to do this has me RUNNING to Starbucks!!!  Yes, you CAN get a reasonable cup of Joe there...  it's time to support businesses who are doing this.

I watched this story develop from the beginning. A California TV station did a story on open carry in California. They interviewed one of the leaders in an open carry group in a Starbucks.  I do not think the location was intentional but the gun grabbers in California went crazy.  How could someone with a, dare I even say it, an unloaded gun, actually enter a franchise the liberals see as their territory. To Starbucks credit they are standing by their policy and are trying to stay neutral.  I have never been in a Starbucks and have never had an urge to buy a double mocha whipped blended iced whatever you call it frappuccino latte grande at a ridiculously high price but I might now go buy one on principle. I don't have an I-Phone with a bluetooth thing for my ear, will they still let me in?

I tried to stop there last night, but it was closing time.  So, I owe them a visit.  Even went out of my way to get there too.
