Concealed means concealed. Unless they put metal detectors and armed guards at their stores I will continue to carry...and probably not do business there anyways.

Yo, Starbucks!

You can't be neutral. "None of the above" was not one of the offered answers.

You either stand with the Constitutional Right of citizens to keep and bear arms, or you don't.

There are no half measures.

You're with us or agin' us, and you have come down on the wrong side by trying to keep our business while telling us to not bring our arms inside.

Now, I ask you, where is that firearm more secure? In its holster, on my person, or in a vehicle outside, where the thug culture could break in and then use it to shoot up your store?

I, for one, will never put you in a position to worry about that question on my account. I'll just take my business (and my personal defense weapon) elsewhere.

Stupid is as stupid does: you tried to sit on the fence and instead impaled yourselves on the post.

Read the sheet carefully while they say they would prefer no guns they don’t disallow - this way they can tell the libbers they changed without really changing.,

Did you miss the part where it says “weapons are not welcome in their store”?

I added this place to my list of never to shop at again at the first taste of overpriced burned coffee from “barrista Prima Donnas”. I always knew where my McDonald’s coffee came from, a family company called Gavina, and found it to be ten times better than Starburnts. Thank God I am not a coffee snob.

And by the way I don’t frequent the place because their coffee sucks - but sometimes I go for the cakes and such...

Open carry is for goof-ass twits with something to prove

When the bad guys see you're carrying, they'll just wait until your back is turned, then hit you over the head with a chair and take your gun.

Concealed is always better.

Okay, I'll bite. Show me where that happens.

You have the entire internet at your disposal. I will wait.

From my reading, they’re saying you’re still welcome in Starbucks with your guns. I think they mean that guns aren’t allowed in Starbucks alone, but if they happen to be carried by a customer that’s okay. :-)

You may be right that business can do as it wishes, but color me shocked that their wishes trump the 2A. Can’t imagine an easier “policy” to want to ignore. %;)

If anyone complains about you standing there and placing an order and minding your business, they are going to ask you to leave. How do you read that as “saying you’re still welcome in Starbucks with your guns”?????

It specifically asks and answers that question. What do I do if another customer complains about a gun carrying customer? Answer nothing.

Conservatives offered plenty of support.

This is simply agenda over profits. They want to have it both ways. I do not think it will work for them.

I would have loved to see the numbers from Starbucks Appreciation Day. My guess is they were huge.

Any realio-trulyio attorneys around? With out effective/constructive personal notice, that an associate barista may not give or post, is this policy without legal effect?

Would they ask a homosexual to leave if someone complained? Of course not. So to hell with Starbuck$.

P.S. I haven’t been to a Starbuck$ in more than two years.
