I heard Starbucks does not support our troops. Not sure if that is true or not so I don't go there just to be on the safe side. I didn't know they were pro gun.

I was going to post a snopes reply, but then I saw this... even better.

From the horses mouth, so to speak. Not everyone wants to pay for overpriced coffee, but I have to say, this Seattle based american company has really got the capitalism thing down.

They totally support the troops, I saw so much Starbucks coffee that Starbucks sent over when I was there numerous times in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

We should definitely go buy a cup of coffee or tea on Valenties day, There pro gun support is one of the few last bastions of freedom in a business that we need more of.  If we let those http://gunvictimsaction.org/ idiots have there way, they will turn this place into England.  That is actually stated on there website.  So support Starbucks so they remain a staunch 2nd Amendment supporter.

When we go there, should we open carry,  just tell them we are in support of them, or both?

If you want, whatever floats your boat...

Myself, I'll just be sure and tell the Barrista the reason I'm here today is because of your 2nd amendment support, thank you.

IF they heard that from the majority of people walking in the door, I think it would do more for our cause than walking in with a gun on the hip.  IMHO.

PS - Not to say I won't be carrying...  ;)

I heard that if you forward this email to 10 people Bill Gates will send you $1,000....
