The ubiquitous coffee chain announced this week that it's asking patrons to stop bringing guns into its stores -- regardless of local gun laws. If you can't bring your gun to Starbucks, will you still bring your business there?
Yes, this is a reasonable request that aims to ensure the safety of employees and customers.
No, even though it's not an official mandate, the concept tramples all over the Second Amendment.

Back in 2005 my Computer came with AOL but after I found out that they fired two of their employes for having guns in their vehicles (they were going target shooting after work) I called and cancelled AOL.

Their coffee is over priced, over roasted and just so over.

I never drank their overpriced dishwater to begin with!
The stuff the local Exxon sells is cheaper and much much better!

The coffee stays at home because thats where I make it how I like it.
The gun goes with me, always.
But dont worry. Me, my guns, or MY MONEY will not be going to a Starbucks.

Yes, this is a reasonable request that aims to ensure a gun-free and therefore target-rich environment for killers.

Who are these idiots voting yes?
Starbucks is dead to me. My husband makes a smokin' latte, much better than Starbucks swill.

Considering this is AOL, it’s moved from 44% to 46% “no” in a couple of hours

They were giving free sample packs of their good coffee on airline flights in 1993 and 1994 as a way of advertizing. My wife and I recognized it as a trend brand with serious potential. We bought stock. They soon overextended on retail locations and we got out in time. Kinda like the Krispy Cream fiasco.
