yeah me too... cause I think that means... if LE's say... don't allow it, Starbucks might change their mind. But luckily (at least currently) the laws are on our side.
I think they're smarter and more experienced than that. But it perhaps could happen. I believe what they mean by "counsel of law enforcement" is by taking instructions, suggestions, and observations under consideration as I would expect anyone or any companyto do (consideration is merely being open to the idea, but you don't have to follow it).

I truly hope that is the case. I'm honestly not to worried about it at the moment, thus far Starbucks has been great to not hinder "our" cause.

This almost makes me wish I had bought a coffee and taken a picture at the Starbucks located in the Forbidden City (Beijing, China).

I would not be so bold as to say that Starbucks is "gun-friendly" as much they are just not gun-unfriendly.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. They're at least not unfriendly at the moment... who knows about tomorrow. It's not like they are going to stand up and announce they are Pro-2A and start helping with the movement. Though, we can always hope :D
