Starbucks has become the unwitting battleground of a movement. Β One that by trying to sidestep, it may have stepped deeper into. Β Until now, “open carry” types have praised Starbucks for its policy of following local, state, and federal laws about guns. Β But now, Starbucks is planning to run ads, asking owners to leave their guns outside. Β CEO Howard Schultz says, “We are respectfully requesting that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas. Β This is a request and not an outright ban.”
But for some, a request is as good as a demand. Β So if Starbucks did ban guns in its stores outright, would you still support them, or find another place to get your caffeine fix?
