I go there quite often and they were oblivious to all of this. When I brought it up last week and when I mentioned it today. I DID write a letter to corporate last week, however, to thank them for standing up for the 2A. This is their response:
Thank you for contacting Starbucks.
Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks' policy on open carry laws. I am truly happy to hear that you support and appreciate our gun policy!
At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don't exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited.
As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers.
Hope to see you in our stores on February 14th! Thanks again for your support and have a beautiful day!
If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address, please feel free to let me know.
Warm Regards,
