Count me in! I'm on the way.

I went to 3 stores today, didn't pay with $2.00 bill, but I was carrying.

I just emailed Starbucks, thanking them.

Now I'm so jacked up on coffee I'll never sleep tonight!

I frequent Starbucks. That doesn't make me some kind of fruitcake does it?

Vanilla bean with caramel. Every. Day.

Thats nice to know but I stopped going to Starbucks last spring when the local managers and district manager refused to allow smoking in their outdoor sitting despite corporate policy change permitting it.I'm damn sick and tired of being treated like a 3rd class citizen ecause I smoke,I am mindfull of where the smoke is blowing,wont smoke around kids and always sit at the table away from people......

I wasn't aware of this because our right to open carry has been infringed in this dump they call California, but I go to Starbucks several times a week and will make sure to tell the manager we appreciate the support of the chain. Very cool! In a time where many companies are choosing otherwise.

I would like to see some facts to back up this assertion that legal open & concealed carry result in more homicides.

One thing that continues to confuse me is the notion that businesses open to the public can "ban" firearms without posting signs at every entrance. How the heck am I supposed to know? BB&T bank branches have a clear prohibition at each entrance. Fine! I don't and won't bank there.

But I was refused entrance to a college football game for having a clip-on pocket knife with a 2-1/2" blade. "It's a weapon and all weapons are prohibited!" Really? Says who? I could not get an answer from any staff or on the university's website. There's no sign anywhere. And come on - do they really think that less than half of the men at a football game have a pocket knife of some sort on them?

If you live in or near Richmond, Virginia, be aware that concealed carry is prohibited on the VCU campus (different university). There are two problems with that. First, it's an urban campus all mixed in with other buildings. How do you know when you're "on campus"? Second, I would prefer to be armed in the general vicinity of VCU. It's not exactly in the best part of town.

Back to Starbucks: I always order a latte with regular milk. Almost as much fun as ordering black coffee and it tastes much better. Their regular coffee really does suck.

Good reason to get some lemon loaf today.

Open/concealed carry may very well result in 12K homicides, since homicide is defined as the taking of a life. 12K fatal self defense shootings would fit that definition, let alone anything else they could lump in there.

Beware when the media starts using technical terms because:

I buy a regular coffee and always say "leave room for cream." They never leave room for cream, so I have to dump some of it out in the trash can. I buy it because it's there, knowing it won't taste all that great. I usually drink half the cup and throw the rest away.
