Starbucks - Open Carry with a Poll to hit

[Fergy35]

The following link is to an AOL news article about Starbucks allowing open carry in it's stores. There is a poll about midway down the page. Let's throw our votes in there too. It is currently at 74% for it. Copy the following and paste it in your address bar on a new tab so it doesn't come directly from a gun site.

Well, it keeps coming up as a link even though that's not what I was trying to do.

The poll results are favorable.

The poll results are favorable.

They sure are with 56,000 and some votes

Done. And later today I'm going to Starbucks and mention this when buying a cup of tea.

You gotta love the Brady Campaign reasoning. Three people were shot in a D.C. Robbery attempt in 1997. Gee, Guns were illegal in D.C. in 97 how did that happen?

Due to this, I'll be going to Starbucks more often.

 

[SSGSAD]

I just voted, over 66,000 votes, 72% support...

 

[k12lts]

I just hit the pole. 70,000 votes and we are winning with 72%.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Still holding at 72%

Voting on the poll is a great idea.

Voicing our opinion while supporting/buying a cup of java from them
will be heard as well.
There will be many Retail outlets watching and maybe changing
their policies over this.

Flawed poll regardless.

Laws don't allow people to carry guns.
Laws restrict how they may or may not do so.

I do support less restrictive carry laws over more restrictive ones, but both pale in comparison with no carry laws.

My first thought as well. So they think a "no guns" sign would have prevented that incident? Really? Really?? How can people really be that dense?

Gee... maybe if there had been some legally armed citizens there, the robbery would never have happened.

Update: I stopped at a local Starbucks this afternoon and made a purchase. While checking out I asked to speak to the manager. She was the one waiting on me. I asked her if she was aware of the news concerning Starbucks and the firearms and she nodded like she did not want to talk about it.

When I told her thank you for the company standing up to the criticism she smiled wide and said thank you right back. I asked her to forward my comments up the chain of command. She said she would be happy to.

Mission accomplished!

72% seems to be holding. I'm so pleased to see this kind of result in a Time Warner poll.

I would expect favorable results on Fox, but this is great to see...
