OK, in Starbucks that usually means 2 shots of flavored syrup in your coffee, but wait, could it be interpreted as something more? Maybe, considering the controversy which had been brewing in the Bay area between the coffee giant and gun activists.
Starbucks has recently rendered a policy decision that will allow gun owners to openly carry unloaded weapons while in their stores. Forty three states allow people to openly carry weapons in public. So what does this whole thing mean?
I for one say that there is no need in a public place of business for people to be packing unless they have an ulterior motive. Nothing against gun owners, but considering the presence of innocent people usually in these establishments, they should exercise some common decency and leave their "toys" locked up in the car.
And what about Starbucks? Are they going to station someone at the door to inspect every weapon as it passes thru in order to assure its' being empty? Maybe the answer is security guards (really,.....in a coffee shop?)
C'mon folks, a little common sense here would go a long way.
