Typical liberal hypocrisy.
They want you to be understanding of differences, unless its something they disagree with.

We should all open carry on Saturday.

The ignorance from some of the people in that group is astounding. Anyone carrying a gun for self protection shouldn't do it because "moms bring their kids here." What the hell does that have to do with anything? Being in the mere presence of a firearm you don't even realize someone is carrying bothers you? Grow up, libs.
Starbucks did not want to get involved at all and is becoming a tug-of-war zone.
But I like that they respect state laws and choose not to force patrons into a policy. More power to them.

25000 signatures is all it takes to ban something?

I seriously think some of these gun control nuts think that guns become self-aware and start indiscriminately killing people.

All that really matters here is that starbucks' coffee blows arse, so who would go there anyways?

I'm going to a few on Saturday. At least two.
Got to find a gun shirt to wear.
How about this?

Many moms are unaware that if they take their children to Starbucks, their children may be standing next to a customer who has a loaded weapon
That customer just may be the one that saves their lives when the undesirables come in to rob the place.
You never hear that side of the argument though.
From an article posted here yesterday:

If you follow the gun-control debate, you know there's no single topic that brings out more emotional claptrap. A statement may be entirely illogical, but if it yanks at the heart strings, we need to pass a new law now! Do it for the children!

From a Pro-Gun page, maybe add to the OP and look at it from this perspective
And no, I will not be at Starbucks.

To show our appreciation, our community does the exact opposite of what we’ve been asked to do by a 2nd Amendment friendly business. We organize a national rally to bombard Starbucks stores across the nation with armed gun rights advocates. As a result, their Facebook page has been absolutely overrun with posts from people on both sides of the debate posting their political views, links to news stories, images people walking around armed in front of coffee shops, etc. We’ve drug Starbucks smack dab into the middle of the debate and put them on the spot against their explicit wishes.
We didn’t show our appreciation to Starbucks, we slapped them in the face. The company went so far as to close their Newtown CT store in anticipation of the pending rally.
I see the whole “Starbucks Appreciation Day” as a misstep on our part. I’m all for activism and take part in it myself. I’ve been present at rallies where I’ve open carried — heck I even helped organize such rallies. But to go against the wishes of an ally like Starbucks and make their business a focal point in the national gun rights debate, when they’ve asked us not to do so, is irresponsible. As a matter of fact, because of our actions, I wouldn’t be surprised if Starbucks reconsiders their corporate policy. Let’s hope that’s not the case.
We can be vocal, we can even be loud, but we need to be calculated and purposeful in our actions. We also need to be respectful to businesses that support our rights and not go out of our way to burn bridges with them.
If you want to show your appreciation to Starbucks, buy their coffee and encourage others to do the same. If you want to organize a 2nd Amendment rally, pick a public area or a business that’s anti-gun. But let’s try to avoid alienating allies by drawing them into the line of fire when they’ve specifically asked us not to do so.
