examiner.com — So if you are a gun owner, the next time you need a cup a joe, drink at Starbucks. And its OK if you are not open carrying a holstered handgun, but do try to wear some pro-gun paraphernalia like an NRA hat or a "Guns Save Lives" button. And as you saddle up to cash register to get that latte, just look that barista in the eye and say . . .

Sounds like we owe our latte-lapping brethren on the west coast a big thank-you as well. Weather permitting I OC at starbucks but usually – suit/white shirt/tie so I don't attract much attention. Glad to see corporate has stepped-up. And the logo is awesome…;)

Is thather fingers on the triggers?

(Had to ask. Had to.)

I love the logo. It's my new favorite. Of course, there needs to be a smile of caffeine and firearm induced contentment on her face instead of that Helmke'esque grimace. Can someone photchop the mouth and "turn that frown upside down"?

Good for you guys!

Uh, guy seated on the right in blue shirt... it's usually recommended to have the bullets facing forward in the mag pouch.

I can make this happen for you.

Do not try this at home, I'm a trained professional--I have PhotoShop and I'm not afraid to use it...;)

Not sure about the "?" marks. Maybe should be "!" or better "$"'s.

That's me. I've tested this method and it works for me. Grab mag. Swing arm up. Bam! Into the mag well it goes. If done right it's a single move. Fast and easy.

Nuff said.



Edited to ad: The mermaid in our "poster" is smiling and there are bullets instead of question marks.

How about a cropped Gadsden flag? In white of course.

I agree. facing backwards. If they are facing forward I find that if I "draw" the mag out with my left hand, then when it is upright then the bullets are facing me, then I have to flip it around to load it. Maybe I aint doing it right?
