I am really pissed to see pictures of guys that carried long guns into Starbucks and posed with them. That was news to me. They took unfair and in-your-face advantage of Starbuck's attempt to stay out of the fray and follow local gun laws.
IMHO, Ordinary every-day carrying for personal protection in a civilian environment involves handguns, not long guns. To me that's intuitive, and no doubt intuitive to a lot of anti-gun people too. I understand that TX does not allow OC with handguns. But, if they thought that OCing a long gun in a TX Starbucks would promote their cause, they might soon regret the unintended consequences of their actions. It would not surprise me in the least if there are now laws being proposed to further restrict the carry rights of TX citizens.
One step forward and two steps back?
Or, just two steps back?!
Did you watch their YouTube video? They were engaging in polite conversation with customers OUTSIDE the store. Its a good thing they did have video to bqack up their account of the story. I expect their charges to be dropped.
