[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 2294329, member: 3128"] So im confused... Strong OC proponents are pissed because SBUX has decided to back away from the far right to a more politically-neutral position right? Istn that their right? Arent they in business to make money? If i read the artilce correctly, I believe that they, mgmt of SBUX, feel they have been inadvertantly thrown into the OC debate. If i remember correctly, the reason they initially decided to not deny OC'ers the right to carry in their cafes was to not choose a side that would alienate a specific group of customers. Well, when OC'ers have held rallys at SBUX stores that cause turmoil and affect their bottom line they are doing the opposite of what SBUX mgmt was trying to do... Negatively affecting those who are not their opponents... I am a firearms instructor and teach the Okla. SDA course. I do not choose to open carry for many reasons. If I did, I wouldnt allow a companies decision to "stay out it" to keep me from buying their product. If they were ardently against it, Maybe. To those who Open Carry and are staunch supporters I say this... Don't condemn a company who has been so supportive on this issue because they are protecting their bottom line. After all, there livelyhood is selling coffee, not politics. [/QUOTE]
