Starbucks needs our help!

[cobber]

Could you take those two pieces of shot with you and leave them there?

An intriguing notion. I'm not sure they want them either, though. I think both are a little too... red... for the Chinese.



I'll make a point of visiting the local Starbucks on the 14th, though. Maybe I'll wear an NRA t-shirt, if I can get it past the TSA.

I work in Marion directly across the street from starbucks. Anybody interested in a meet up at that location? I have actually never been there despite the close proximity but would love to go spend a little cash for a good cause.

Plucked from another forum I'm on:
Starbucks' "Pro-Gun" Policy Prompts Gun Victims' Advocate Group to Launch Nationwide Boycott on Valentine's Day 2012 - PR Newswire - sacbee.com

Looks like the anti-'s are planning a boycott of Starbucks starting on St. Valentine's Day, due to their "local stores follow local laws" policies. Might be a good time for us pro-'s to stop in for a cup of Joe.

OC, of course!

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't go often, but I'm going to make a point to visit Starbucks a couple times on Valentine's Day.

Hmmmnn

I like the way you think. Maybe I need to pull out some NRA gear, a winchester hat and camo pants and sit down for some overpriced coffee.

Thanks I'll make it a point to go that day!

My wife get's her Starbucks fix when she meets "the girls" once or twice a week to chat. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but they are certainly on my "approved" list. They treat my wife and her friends (and their toddlers) very well every week (they bought more high chairs when they found out the group wanted to meet there every week, for instance). I also remember the OC discussions on INGO a while back, when we first learned their "we follow local laws" policy. I suppose Starbucks is rather refreshing!

I'll be OCing to a couple of them on 2/14 to show my appreciation. Maybe get a muffin and some hot chocolate?

 

[Bounty Hunter]

You have to hand it to Star Bucks , alot places would fold to that pressure. Hurray for Star Bucks!!
Count me in!!

 

[Bill of Rights]

I've got a $25 starbucks card that's burning a hole in my wallet. How about we raffle it off to an INGOer with the proceeds of the raffle going to a 2nd Amendment related charity?

I bid $15

Cool. I'll bid $25.



That would be good considering the companies that have previously folded to their tactics:


Because of course, those that would comply with the signs are the ones you need to worry about.

I would give $35 if the proceeds go to the CCRKBA. The NRA and GOA don't need the $35. Well, they might need it, but CCRKBA could use it more Imo

While you are the moderator and make/enforce the rules, I beg to differ with you regarding the impact of Indiana Charity Gaming laws and this thread. Those laws apply to games of chance. Because he called it a 'raffle' does not make it so...

What we have here is simply an auction of physical property (the Starbucks card) to another individual (the highest bidder) as happens on eBay everyday, millions of times. The seller is free to donate the proceeds as he sees fit. (and take the tax deduction as well).

At worst case he may need a yard sale permit...

Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification. It's still off-limits here, as such things go in the Classifieds and something for sale requires an asking price.

Nonetheless, I do appreciate the pointer, as you're correct. It would be an auction, thus legal, but still in violation of INGO rules, so the most you get here is a for trying to do something good and a for the
Oh. And a rep for good info.

Blessings,

And don't forget to let the staff know why you're there.

I agree. They need positive coments that they can pass to corporate.

The author seemed to be dripping with venom in his attacks. Did he even get one fact right?
The commentors were correcting him.

Real easy to start dropping the daily change into a coffee kitty instead of the wife's yard sale kitty.

Antis to boycott Starbucks

Looks like the jig is up for OC at Starbucks. I love the part where they say open carry increases homicides.

Wow. Just Wow. I wouldn't say the jig is up just yet. Who knows, according to the article, Starbucks has been pretty persistent.

I meant as in the antis knowing about one of our hangouts. I had no idea ikea used to lol

Well, it isn't all bad. Maybe we can educate them while we are there about how no one gets murdered, because they are saying it somehow causes homicides. I mean it's easy to educate the anti-gun people!

 

[dwh79]

I just sent them an e-mail thanking them for recognizing our rights as laid out by our state and stated that myself and several others will be stopping by on 2/14 to show our support and thanks. It would be great if corporate would also hear from us directly concerning this matter.

 

[38special]

I'm in.

 

[GuyRelford]

Remind me to visit a Starbucks on Valentine's Day!

 

[TTravis]

Not my cup of tea, but I will make my once annual trip to Starbucks on that day and maybe even OC if the anti-gun people try to make a boycott.

 

[indysims]

I love guns and coffee merchandise has been available for some time. Celebrating Starbucks telling the anti-gunners to bump off... The stickers are cool.

I Love Guns & Coffee

 

[wizard_of_ahs]

Not a normal customer of Starbucks, but if ever there was a great reason to visit them, this is it. Marked on my calendar!

+1

I'll be there
