Default The Balls on Some People...

Call for Boycott of Starbucks on Valentine's Day Over Gun Policy

How about that. I hate Starbucks, now I have to spend $30 or so there on Valentines Day.

Oh yeah, in keeping with the Corvette theme, I will drive my 87 coupe to my local establishment.

Same here, I've never stepped foot in one but I will have to change that on Valentines day.

Oh yeah, Corvettes are cool.

Although I am not a fan of open carry, I will on 2-14-12.
Important to let Starbucks know who has their back, so I will break my own rule for the day.

Once I remove my coat it will be quite obvious that I'm carrying....I'll wear the shoulder rig...That should raise a few eyebrows...

Right on brutha
I may have to borrow a holster from a local buddy. Everything I have is great concealed, but no OWB or shoulder rigs.

That was a rumor started about 6 or 7 years ago. I don't believe that's true.

Are these people for real? What a load of shit. 12,000 criminals are the reason there are 12,000 gun homocides a year. Show me documentation of where law abiding citizens are committing these homocides. Show me statistics of how the violent crime rate ROSE after concealed carry legislation was passed in Texas....or anywhere else.

Isn't it ironic (NYC notwithstanding) how the areas of the country with the tightest gun control laws also have the highest concentration of violent crime? Equally ironic is how the inverse of this is also true.

We have concealed carry in Texas. In 2010 El Paso was the safest large city (over 500,000) in the USA. We've been in the top 3 for a decade, jockeying for position with San Jose and Honolulu.

El Paso Ranks Safest City In US - News Story - KVIA El Paso

Sure are a lot of Texas cities on the list......


"An armed society is a polite society" Jeff Cooper.

I never go to Starbucks....but I believe I'll show up with my 1911A Springfield neatly tucked behind my jacket, order some coffee, sit down and enjoy the day knowing I'm surrounded by like minded individuals, and will be sitting in one of the safest places in the USA.

Man, I hate liberals.

The worst part is that you can't argue with them on anything. No amount of fact, logic, or reason will ever get through the sunshine and rainbows that fill their heads.

All I have to say on the issue of gun control is this:

If you want my guns, feel free to come try to take them.
