Poll in the LA Times: Do you support Starbucks' gun stance?
Yes 46% 1,017 votes
No 54% 1,209 votes
Just a few hundred votes could dishearten the anti-second amendment types.
Supporting Starbucks' right to chose does not mean we have to support their choice.

I hope not but they may have just announced their grand opening as nut case shooting gallery location. Personally don’t pay any attention to the little signs in the door (the picture of their gun doesn’t match mine) and more especially me and mine don’t go around people who hate themselves.
I think the best way to show Stardreck your opinion is to take your business somewhere else. Let them be supported by the liberals that think like them, God knows it’s easy enough to find better coffee.

A bulletin board sign at the local shooting
range: “Starsucks coffee unwelcome on these
premises”.
Now at 43% yes, 57% no.
I think as a private business they have the right to set whatever policy they want, but I think it’s an inane policy that is not going to have any impact at all other than increase the smugness of management and their PC customers, so I voted against simply because it’s idiotic.
Since it’s just a suggestion, the carrying customers will continue carrying and the ones that don’t won’t. The only slight downside is that it might give some thug the idea that it’s a gun free zone and that they can shoot up the place unencumbered.
The other consequence could be some loss of business from the carriers who happen to drink the stuff, but I got a feeling there aren’t that many.

Hard to be sure of the numbers, but I am pretty sure it is a net loss for Starbucks.
After watching the issue for decades, it is clear that of those who feel strongly about it, supporters of the second amendment outnumber those who oppose it about five to one.
God knows it’s easy enough to find better coffee.”
How about people fixing a cup to go at their own home. No is now 58%.
Been to Starbucks only once and didn’t go back because it was just too expensive and mine at home really is better. Never figured out why people put all that other stuff in their coffee and still call it coffee. Coffee is black, no cream, no sugar, no additives. Anything else should have another name.
What is their gun stance?

What is their gun stance?
Starbucks’ CEO Howard Schultz tried to thread the needle.
Starbucks’ gun stance is, we will not ask anyone who is armed to leave, we will not post our stores to make it illegal for an armed person to come to them, we will just politely ask them not to come to our businesses with guns.
So... Essentially, bring your money and leave your principles at home.
Now at 42% Yes, 58% no.

FReeped and reFReeped! :-0
Starbucks’ official position is that if I don’t support redefining marriage, they don’t want my business. I cheerfully acquiesce. Why would I, therefore, care about their position on gun control or anything else?
