Not sure where this should go as I can't post in where it needs to go. Just wanted to pass it on.

I found this on Yahoo News and it's by the AP.



Buzz and bullets: Gun fans cheer Starbucks' policy

By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer Greg Bluestein, Associated Press Writer

The advocacy group http://OpenCarry.org]OpenCarry.org]OpenCarry.org[/url], a leading group encouraging the demonstrations, applauded Starbucks in a statement for "deciding not to discriminate against lawful gun carriers."

"Starbucks is seen as a responsible corporation and they're seen as a very progressive corporation, and this policy is very much in keeping with that," said John Pierce, co-founder of OpenCarry.org. "If you're going to support individual rights, you have to support them all. I applaud them, and I've gone out of my way personally to let every manager of every Starbucks I pass know that."
