No Sir what I meant is that it was posted on September the 20th 2013. I never checked for the actual date of the article, and the body of the story didn't mention the date I assumed it was a current event.
But it is true. Ole sarg didn't say what he was calling a lie. If he dose not agree on one point he disregards the whole. After his little rant calling you a liar, I went looking for your story. It seems that Starbucks is a magnet for robbers. Wouldn't it make sense to be packing just for your own protection, just for a cup of joe - or moe - or whatever you call the stuff they sale.
And please, never apology to Ole Sarg again - he gets a swelled head when he thinks he is right.

So within 24 hrs of Starbucks announcing a ban on firearms inside its' businesses, an armed man walks into one of their stores in Henderson, NV and tries to rob the store and patrons. This crime was thwarted by an armed off-duty police officer who was in the store.
How do you suppose being robbed made the children feel about their "safe" experience. (Sorry for the sarcasm but this was the reason cited by Starbucks CEO for the weapons ban)

Actually, it was a request not a ban.

OMGosh!! There IS someone left in L.A. with a functioning brain?! Yikes, good to know. I had feared we were the last ones out when we moved here last year. I assume Sacramento will be passing a whole series of laws against you now your existence is revealed! =(

what good is a good guy with a bad gun if it dont work properly
The Hi-Point I have has been very reliable at the range, no FTF (Failure to Feed) no jams etc. I like that it is heavy and it helps with the recoil, though my wife would be unable to fire it. I am getting her a glock 9 mm, my daughter bought a glock 9 mm last year and my wife liked it. My daughter is a 10 year veteran (as is my son) both are out of the service, my son lives in CO. and my daughter lives 2 miles from me. I am proud of my kids for who they are and their service. My son had been a liberal for allot of years and for the past 8 years he has seen the light (without any pestering from me) I've always let my kids make their own decisions without them knowing I disapproved, but when they ask me for my opinion I am more than willing to share with them. My son does not share my beliefs in God and I do not try to persuade him as I feel he will see the light when he is ready.

I had heard about Starbucks 'quiet' ban on hand guns but I had not heard anything about a robbery at one of their stores. Point well taken. I would not open carry in any store. I would leave the gun in the car but if I was Conceal carrying, No one would know. Rule one, respect the business that I visit.

I am not sure what the big deal is about Starbucks or other private businesses in asking customers not to carry. When I carry, no one is going to know it. I don't display the fact that I have a concealed weapon, so no customers or employees will know it, unless something happens which threatens my or their lives. I am not concerned about stolen property. It would be hard to justify giving someone capital punishment for something the courts would probably give a suspended or very limited jail time.
Just my opinion.
Just my opinion.

The guy at Starbucks must be talking about open carry. How else would he know that someone one was carrying? Some people who carry a gun on their hip all the time tend to forget that it is there, like wearing glasses, leave home without it and you feel like something is missing. It must be open carry.

Agreed. I was shopping for tires for my car and stopped at the Goodyear Tire Center in Arvada, CO and there was a decal on their door depicting a handgun with a red circle/slash over it. Needless to say I didn't bother entering the store! :thumbdown:

Wouldn't find me in a starbucks for all the tea in China.
I brew a far better cup in the morning myself.
Of course, if I was forced to go in, for some unworldly reason
and since concealed carry means just that - -
they would have no reason to know
nor would I give them any

Like I said... some of these folks are scary without guns. Then, add in the guns and I start to get nervous. And, I'm not talking about criminals...
Now I understand the dunce cap.

I was just thinking of what you said and came up with an amusing situation.
Because you are there, what if you had entered the store and said that you have a weapon on you, then gave the store a chance to either accept your business or for you to leave because of their policy. What do you think they would have done?
This way they can figure out how much their policy hurts their business.
Just a thought.
