They should be down in a bad neighborhood protesting outside of some gang drug house.

Ooooh I hate gun violence....lets protest fully licensed users at starbucks because there are thousands shot by legally licensed open carry types each year at starbucks around the country.

P.S. After the protest, they will go home and smoke pot that they bought via a network that is actively involved in many illegally licensed guns and murders. What a bunch of hypocrites
Again fully though out actions usually are not within the purview by scared of the world liberal lefties.

No, no that's why I qualified "scared of the world". Several of my gun buddies are libby and will be with me at our local Starbucks that day in our gun garb.

I'm not right-wing or a redneck, but I'm labeled as one often enough on this forum to suffice for the demonstration... My girl and I are going to visit several Starbucks on St. Valentine's Day - open carrying - to show our support of their indifference. I'll take photos for you if I can.

My parents told me to value money. I'd never waste my money on making a political point. If I'm going to buy something, it's because I want it, not to make someone angry or make a statement. I wouldn't even spend 50 cents on a bumper sticker.

Call for Boycott of Starbucks on Valentine's Day Over Gun Policy

Spread the word RKBA supporters get out on Valentines Day and support you local Starbucks.

Wouldn't it be great if we could make it one of their best sales days of the year.

Spread the word on all your gun forums.

Plus their scones are really good.
Wow. So they protest a place for doing something completely normal and legal? I will be sure to stop by Starbucks on my way to work.

A buck-sixty is too much for you to spend to show a business that you support their policy?

How much would you spend on poster board, markers, stencils and gas to protest a business whose policies you don't support?

I thought Starbucks was more expensive than a buck and a half. Guess I was wrong. I wouldn't spend one penny to protest. They call it free speech for a reason. Hey, it's your money, do what you want.
