Hey I went into Starbucks about 2 weeks ago to give my girlfriend a ride home. While i was there I went inside to get a cup of coffee (which i get for free since she works there ) I did not notice a No firearms sign. Does anyone have any idea if they are pro or anti open carry?

They're all pro until they ask you to leave. Then you take your business elsewhere. Shouldn't be very hard to find a better cup of coffee.

You must have missed the whole Starbucks OC thing a while back. An OC group in CA was visiting a starbucks, anti-gun people wanted Starbucks to prohibit guns, Starbucks decided they weren't going to get involved in the gun politics so as long as you aren't breaking any laws they don't care. There was even a Starbucks appreciation day where gun carriers showed up to shops around the country to thank them for defering to the law rather than instituting an anti-gun policy.

Yea I just read that one and another with Starbucks stating, "
that its baristas, or "partners," could be harmed if the stores were to ban guns". Thank the gods that Starbucks did not have the mentality that if they put a NO GUNS ALLOWED sign up that would deter crime away lol

Starbucks said they will follow whatever the local state law is. I think it was last year when a large group of us were hanging out at the SB on Main street in Newark. No problems from anyone. Even the NPD waved as the drove by!
