It looks like the pathetic brady clowns are mad at even their would be hero, Obama. The irrelevant bradys gave Barrack an "F" rating for what they claim was his failure to take advantage of a Democrat House and Senate and pass morerestrictions on private firearm ownership. The anti-gun zealots danced the streets after Obama's victory, how quickly they turned on their chosen one.

...and Republicans deserve an "F" for avoiding pushing PRO gun action when THEY were the majority.
Both parties are useless...

The comment was made that someone's fear of my gun is THEIR problem. That is a fantastic point.
If you fear my gun, you want to eliminate it.
Okay.
But if you fear the government, what do you do? Eliminate it? With what? You took away my gun!

It's been said before, but I will relish this opportunity to reiterate this. We are often critical of businesses when they choose to not respect our right to bear arms. However, many times we fail to show appreciation to those businesses which either support, or at the very least choose not to trample upon our right(s). We can always do so by choosing to patronize such businesses, but we should also take the opportunity to send a short note of approval their way. Its quick and painless, and I feel as though it will go long way in helping out the image of open carriers as a whole.

my letter:
Greetings,
I am a Starbucks Black Card holder and have been to at least 100 different Starbucks locations over the past year due to my frequent travels. I am also licensed to carry a concealed pistol. I am a responsible gun owner and lawfully armed citizen. I am also a survivor of the 1993 Shootings at 101 California Street, San Francisco which occurred prior to when I became an armed citizen.
I have seen that the Brady Campaign to "Prevent Gun Violence" is urging people to sign an on-line petition to send to Howard Schultz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Starbucks, asking that the company deny customers their right to keep and bear arms at Starbucks establishments.
I am writing you to tell you that I appreciate Starbucks current policy not prohibiting firearms at its locations and instead deferring to existing federal, state and local laws which provide ample protection while allowing legitimate citizens to lawfully possess and carry firearms.
I urge Starbucks to ignore the Brady Campaign's petition. Starbucks is a safer place to enjoy coffee and treats due to not banning lawfully possessed and carried firearms.
Sincerely,
/s/

KTVU Channel 2 News in San Francisco just reported that Starbucks responded today to the most recent actions on the part of the Brady Campaign by reiterating that they will follow local, state, and federal laws. So far, Starbucks has decided to continue to allow open carry in their stores wherever it is legal.
STARBUCKS HANDS THE BRADY BUNCH THIER A$$ :lol: :celebrate

:idea::exclaim:IDEA: Get a bunch of T-shirts made with that "guns and coffee" symbol and wear them to Open Carry Coffee Klatches at Starbucks. And send Helmke the photos with a thank you note for designing us a cool logo. When he realizes how badly he has backfired, his head will explode....

Far be it from me to play the role of IP police, but it may be wise to pause for a moment and consider the possible consequences of using an altered copy of what is clearly a Starbuck's icon.
Even though we like it and it probably did accomplish the exact opposite of what the Brady Bunch intended, the important thing to consider is what will Starbuck's think of it?
Doesn't matter who initially created it, if the Starbuck's legal folks see open carriers using it, they might not be quite so happy any more.
Just some things to consider.
