So much for relevance
Starbucks blows off the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership:
Starbucks has brushed aside a request from a gun control advocacy group to ban the display of guns in its retail locations, saying it will abide by laws that allow patrons to openly carry unloaded weapons.
I guess the pressure from tens of petition signers wasn’t that great.

I agree with Jeff saying, “I suggest that all of you congratulate them on their policy.”

I also wonder if Starbucks is concerned about the Brady Campaign’s unauthorized misuse of their registered trademark logo?

I sent my note of thanks and support today. Good work breaking this open and helping to get the word out.

You don’t want to annoy a person who has just chugged a big cup of Hi-Test, and might be carrying a gun, after all.

What about loaded weapons? Is there a point to the open display of an unloaded weapon?
Seems like a luke warm latte response to me.
