Default Time for a Starbucks?

Looks like the Brady bunch is pissed off at Starbucks for allowing firearms to be carried in their coffee shops.

Anyone who can afford to drink or eat regularly at Starbucks prices probably needs to be armed anyway.

I think their coffee sucks, personally?
BUT!
For having the huevo's not to cave into the terrorist Brady bunch organization, I simply must find something edible of theirs to purchase! Just so I can tell them just why I'm in there!

A lot of Starbucks around here are attached to other stores, such as Borders. It would be ridiculous for them to cut off potential customers and not very feasible to draw a line in the sand between the stores.

NEVER. Two reasons.

1. Some Starbucks are decidely anti-gun. Try to open carry at those.

2. Their brewed coffee sucks. They buy average beans, over roast them (that's why they are AKA Charbucks), brew it, and sell it as premium coffee to people that ought to know better. A classic rip-off.

Guarantee the folks who are OPEN CARRYING in protest at Cali Starbuck's have never, ever been to a Starbuck's.

Be safe.

Drink their coffee occasionally at airports. Haven't tried carrying there yet. I always thought their coffee was too hot and rather tasteless. The $5 lattes seem to be very popular whenever I'm standing in line waiting to order.

Gee wiz, cheer up folks

I wonder how many gun owners have Progressive Insurance? Betcha,quite a few. No company is more anti- 2nd A than Progressive. But saving $10 on car insurance is more important than gun ownership, ain't it?

Surely any group labeling themselves “Progressive” has done so for a purpose, or even worse is totally clueless.

Why would anyone buy anything from an outfit that had “Progressive” or “Liberal” in their name?

Would you buy ammunition from the Liberal Ammunition Company? Oh, and I wouldn’t care if their headquarters was in Liberal, Kansas.
