    An anti-gun group is calling for a boycott of Starbucks because the coffee joint allow customers, per state and local laws, to carry firearms in the stores.

    So... there's a retaliatory call for gun owners to go a buy a cup of joe or foo-foo coffee at their local Starbucks.

    I haven't been to a starbucks in years.... but I'll go tomorrow. :rock:

    Of course, we can't carry here in IL but the anti-gun group is out of Chicago (big surprise there... not) so IL is in play.

    Info about it: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/anti-gun-group-launch-nationwide-boycott-starbucks

    No Starbucks in Blossvale, NY. LOL That's OK, I buy their coffee religously in the local grocery stores. I'm a French Roast guy.

    Heading home now - I plan on stopping to get a foo-foo coffee drink on my way. If there's any anti's around I'll try to run them over.

    Or just give them some Bowhunting.com DVDs. :tu:

    We went to the local Starbuck's and the girl didn't know anything about it. We asked her to tell the manager we were there for that reason.
