Starbucks Appreciation Day – Sunday Feb 21

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Lawful Self Defense, an organization vocally opposing your right to private firearm ownership, has been losing their battles to disarm law-abiding citizens in federal, state, and local elections. They lose with their ballot initiatives on election days. They lose with their cases in the court system. They lose in the public opinion polls. And they are even losing with donations. The only thing they succeed at is, well, failing.

Now the anti-gun Brady Campaign has turned its sights (metaphorically speaking, since they wet their pants at the sight of a firearm) on private property. In particular, they’ve taken aim on Starbucks. The Brady organization claims to have 25,000 petition signatures demanding that Starbucks prohibit firearms in their privately owned coffee shops. You see, the Brady Campaign does not approve of law-abiding adults with permits to carry concealed handguns from doing so for self defense on public or private property. Furthermore, they also condemn the open carry of safely holstered handguns for self defense by law-abiding adults.

Starbucks’ response? They hurt the Brady folk’s feelings when they told them, “Starbucks does not have a corporate policy regarding customers and weapons; we defer to federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding this issue.” We need to reward Starbucks’ refusal to cave to the arrogant demands of the Brady Campaign – first by telling their corporate office that you enjoy their products and that you will continue to support their company because they support your right to self defense.

I hate Starbucks coffee and I'm not an avid OCer plus I have to work Sunday from 6:00pm to 6:00am Monday so I sleep most of the day.

But if anyone is going to a Starbucks in Pittsburgh (Robinson) around 9:00am I may go too.

I might even OC.

MEET AND GREETS AT YOUR LOCAL STARBUCKS.

We all should try and make a point of showing up at your local Starbucks, you can always get a hot chocolate if you don't like the coffee. Any time you can show your appreciation you should.

Maybe I should start a thread for a meet and greet at the local Starbucks around here.

It surprised me too. It's gotta be a real kick in the nuts to the Brady Campaign. I'm sure that's why they targeted Starbucks - because they thought it'd be an easy 'victory' for them.

I also sent them an email. It was short and to the point. Here it is:

I would like to start off saying that I do not often drink coffee and I always avoided Starbucks stores because of the high prices.

Recently, I became aware of the Brady Campaign's attempts at persuading your corporation to change its corporate policy to prohibit the legal carry of weapons within your stores where legally allowed. I was very impressed that your company did not change its policy and still allows the legal carry of firearms within your stores. This morning I stopped by a Starbucks store and bought a coffee and small confection in appreciation of your decision not to change corporate policy. You have just earned yourself a new loyal customer that otherwise would have never stepped foot in a Starbucks. Thank you.

Their response was:

I would love to OC on the 21st to Starbucks, but my nearest Starbucks is located in the Bloomsburg University college campus... so that's out of the question.

I personally love Starbucks coffee. Unfortunately the closest one is still a bit of a hike. Looks like Sunday will be a good excuse for me to make the trip for a cup and show them my appreciation.

Ditto, except for the hours. And I'm new to this forum, so good timing. Want to pick one? I think there's like 874 in one square mile out there.
