Haven't been to Starbucks since I read an email that went around in '05 or '06 about a group of servicemen in Iraq that wrote Starbucks asking if they could send some of their coffee, they were really missing it, and would appreciate a taste to remind them of home. Starbucks response was that we don't support the war and we won't send you coffee(paraphrased). I tried looking for the email but it was so long ago that I can't find it. That's all I needed to know about Starbucks!! I understand you might not like nor support the wars that were fought, that's your choice and I will respect it, but if you won't stand behind our troops, please stand in front of them. I knew those "Support Starbucks Days" in response to the boycotts would backfire, specially when people were showing up with AR's over the shoulders(And yes I own one those too). :banghead: While I respect private property rights, the only thing that might change companies minds, would be...hope it doesn't happen....but a shooter shows up at Gun Free Zone...Gun Victim Zone(Got it right), lets just say AMC theaters, a survivor of the shooting than sues AMC for taking away their right to defend themselves and not providing adequate measures to protect its patrons. All I see is landslide in favor of the plantiff and a company hurting after that settlement.
On a side note, business that show no gun signs, I don't go in. I know this hurts some good people in states like CA and other with similar gun laws, but I don't even support businesses from that state because I don't want any of my money going to the state thru taxes. What also sucks is that my states to stay away from list if growing!!!
