Starbucks CEO: Stop bringing guns - The Hill

They admit to a lot of political pressure from the Left, but it appears very weak-kneed if they are going to do nothing about any enforcement - is it really going to be worthwhile just to pay lip service the Left and irritate the Constitutionalists? I doubt it. This is lose/lose from a business standpoint.
Starbucks shops are private property.

You're a hypocrite if you find this to be an issue. You cannot support gun rights while stepping on somebody's rights to decide if people can bring them on their private property.

On a side note:

Don't be cherry picking what you support and what you don't. You either support the 2nd amendment and the rights of private property, or you support neither.

Starbucks CEO today 9/18
Gun carrying people not welcome as customers.
Obamacare will be good for America.
I can't go the Starbucks because I don't own a Subaru SUV or a Volvo.

Too bad Starbucks couldn't even suck up $130 for their own citizens.
Gander thanked for Sept. 11 hospitality
Gander is one of my favorite places in the whole world. Was never there, but their response on 9/11 and the days that followed makes for a wonderful counterbalance to all the hell.
