The statement from Mantel is utter hogwash. That responsible person who is licensed to carry a handgun just might deter an armed robbery and save a life.
Kudos to Starbucks for having some sense :)

Smart move. Half of their customers are conservatives.

Starbucks would be very wise to sidestep this completely.

Any credence to the email thats floating around where a group of soldiers asked Starbucks for some coffee delivered during a flight layover?
Starbucks allegedly replies “thank you for enjoying our coffee but unfortunetaly we do not support the war nor anyone in it.”
I think the email was legit, but was the isolated view of whoever was typing at the computer at that store at that time.

Smart move. Half of their customers are conservatives. I find that hard to believe.Although I have no hard stats (if any exist) my gut tells me that the majority...very probably a large majority...of Starbuck's customers are "progressives".
Among the many things that leads me to that conclusion is this....think about your last visit there.Picture in your mind the front display and focus on the bottles water they sell.It's called "Ethos",IIRC.And on the bottle the maker boasts of how a percentage of what they make from the product goes to bringing clean water to Third World countries.
This clearly means that Starbucks believes (correctly,I'll wager) that their typical patron can't even take a swig of water without feeling guilt.

The left snaps hardest against anyone they think might be leaving the “plantation”.

Guns and coffee are a bad idea, especially espresso. It gives you the shakes and causes poor aiming of the hanguns.

The Left want to rob and rape people and get away with it.

Smart move. Nothing like pissing off an armed customer after he has had a couple of double latte’s. Those caffine people get a might edgy.

I agree with you. Not many good ole boys in the Starbucks.
More of the square-glasses-wearing sushi-eating types in there.

Nope. They don't deliver but every month I add a pound or two of coffee to the barrel at our local Starbucks. That coffee is sent to our troops in the big sandbox regularly. I’ve also seen the same donation set up is several other locations.
Starbucks does support our troops. That is all that is important to me.

For me, that’s for sure. I never have coffee before going to the range.

Yeah... quite regularly me and the guys from the lumber yard get together for a late night poker game. Right before the strippers come over we have a delightful snack of sushi and espresso.
