Ask Starbucks to continue to stand up for our rights!
Over the past few months, more and more gun owners have been gathering at restaurants and coffee shops like Starbucks in clear legal exercise of their legally obtained concealed carry and open weapon permits.
While business can legally create policies to prohibit guns from being carried in their establishments — and so far, Peet’s Coffee & Tea and California Pizza Kitchen have chosen to bar open carrying as is within their rights and at the request of a portion of their customers. Starbucks has refused to prohibit the open carrying of firearms in its stores, despite protests from loyal customers.
The practice of legally carrying weapons in places like Starbucks is lawful and should be supported by our families and communities — and should be supported by Starbucks and your patronage to them.
It’s everyone’s right to be able to sit in a restaurant or coffee shop with their families with their lawfully registered and permitted weapon whether concealed or openly carried. Under the law. While we understand that Starbucks has the right to adopt a gun-free policy, with an exception for uniformed police officers. We fully support that they have chosen not to adopt such a policy that would infringe on our rights.
It is critical that we tell Starbucks to allow legally owned and permitted guns in its stores. To assuage fears from those individuals who have fears, perhaps Starbucks could display signs encouraging proper gun safety training.
Sign the petition and let Starbucks know that you want them to continue to stand up for the safety and freedoms of our nation and to continue to support our local, state, and federal gun policies in all Starbucks stores.
