Anti-gun group targets Starbucks

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Starbucks Corp. are squaring off over gun and concealed weapons laws.

The Washington, D.C. group has targeted the Seattle coffee giant (NASDAQ: SBUX), demanding that Starbucks outlaw the carrying of guns in its coffee shops. But Starbucks said it will comply with local laws and statutes.

“The political, policy and legal debates around these issues belong in the legislatures and courts, not in our stores,” Starbucks wrote in a statement released Wednesday.

Last month, Paul Helmke, president of the anti-gun group, wrote Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, demanding that Starbucks reverse its current policy of allowing guns to be carried by its customers.

“Just as your stores may prohibit entry by people who are not wearing shoes, they may prohibit entry by people carrying guns,” Helmke wrote.

But Starbucks said it doesn’t want its employees to have to ask legal gun-carrying customers to leave its stores.

“Were we to adopt a policy different from local laws allowing open carry, we would be forced to require our partners to ask law abiding customers to leave our stores, putting our partners in an unfair and potentially unsafe position,” Starbucks said in its Wednesday statement.

Its pretty damn obvious I have never said I was deaf - I am HoH.

But, since you claim to know everything there is to know about "deafness" and "obvious who is and who is not deaf"

I am actually completely deaf without my hearing aids.

Are you a mind reader too LOL

Nope. Just a little more tech savvy than you.

Concealed carry holders are also "bound by certain laws to only use them when needed in an emergency." In fact, civilians with conceal carry permits are more restricted than civilians without the permits. We are held to a higher standard by law.

A civilian cannot legally "fire at random and whenever they want to if they so choose." If a civilian does so choose to "fire at random" then he will have to pay the penalty for his actions.

I have a CCW, in Georgia its called a GFL (Georgia Firearms License). It allows me to carry concealed or to open carry.

What a lot of people do not realize is that in order to obtain a permit, they must go through a very thorough background check. In my State, the FBI, GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation), the local Sheriff's Office as well as any LEA in my area all contribute to this background check.

Then, a Superior Court Judge reviews all of this and at their sole discretion can deny or approve the permit.

So, not just ANYONE can go and carry a gun in public. This weeds out the crazy lunatics and prior convicted felons.

Well give yourself a pat on the back then :roll:

 

[Reba]

...so show me any news about a law-abiding armed citizen going on shooting spree

By definition, if someone is "law-abiding" he isn't going on a shooting spree.

 

[Tousi]

Botti, Chase, your once very good friend, crazy or whatever you said way up?

 

[Bottesini]

Well give yourself a pat on the back then :roll:

Even as we speak, trained investigators are working to track your IP.

lol yes. Clarification - I'm asking for any news on "law-abiding-citizen-gone-postal"

 

[Steinhauer]

Fantastic - I welcome them

 

[Bottesini]

Sorry Tousi, I just get annoyed after his ex-wife joined up and threatened to out him, and he just keeps coming back.

All the details and interests are so similar.

 

[lovezebras]

UGH...i am leaving this thread...

 

[Steinhauer]

So tell me - why would these "secret highly trained investigators" be looking for my IP address - why don't they just email me and I will gladly hand it over.

Exactly.

I have a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit. I was required to go thru a SLED background check, all-day class, pass a written test, and pass a practical range test. The class covered gun safety and all the pertinent laws and restrictions. There was always the emphasis on prudent and lawful use of the gun.

same. I have a packet of laws and etc. it's quite stringent. it's a serious responsibility. and it's a burden to carry.

Ok then, I will take your threads at face value and say you have exposed their investigation. :roll:

Now why would you do that? Are you trying to intimidate, harass, coerce or threaten me?

In public?

Please be very careful how you respond.

 

[Reba]

also... I do not have to abide by any law from the states...i am not from there nor am I a U.S. citizen....

Regardless of our residence, we all have to obey the AD rules of discourse.
