CeaseFire & Brady Campaign: Ban Guns in Starbucks
Since Washington CeaseFire made all that noise with the semi-auto "military" rifle ban, I decided to sign up for their newsletter to keep an eye on them...anyway, this came into my e-mail today:
_______________________________________
Dear Supporter,
Washington Ceasefire is reaching out to you on behalf of the Brady Campaign. Over the past few months, more and more gun owners have been gathering at restaurants and coffee shops like Starbucks with guns strapped to their hips, intimidating fellow patrons.
Businesses can legally prohibit guns from being carried in their establishments - and so far, Peet's Coffee & Tea and California Pizza Kitchen have heeded customer concerns and barred the open carrying of guns.
Starbucks Refuses to Prohibit Firearms in its Stores
But Starbucks is refusing to prohibit the open carrying of firearms in its stores, despite protests from loyal customers.
Click here to sign the petition to let Starbuck know that you want them to stand up for the safety of their customers and adopt a nationwide, gun-free policy in all Starbucks stores
Because of Starbucks' refusal, the Brady Campaign has teamed up with CREDO Action to tell Starbucks to keep guns out of its coffee shops.
The practice of packing heat in places like Starbucks is intimidating and could be potentially dangerous to our families and communities - and it must be stopped.
It's everyone's right to sit in a restaurant or coffee shop with their families without intimidation or fear of guns, either concealed or openly carried.
Tell Starbucks to Adopt a gun-free policy
Under the law, Starbucks has the right to adopt a gun-free policy, with an exception for uniformed police officers. Such a policy can easily be implemented in most cases by putting up signs at store entrances.
We need to tell Starbucks to bar guns in its stores. These individuals who have been carrying guns into Starbucks have all the firepower of a SWAT team, and none of the law enforcement training.
Please sign the petition to Starbucks today!
Spread the word! Send this email to a friend!
Sincerely,
Washington Ceasefire & The Brady Campaign
