Anti gun groups are going to be protesting and boycotting Starbucks because of their stance on firearms (that they follow state law) and wont ban the possession in their stores. To show support for Starbucks stance and their refusal to cave to the anti gun groups show your support by buying a cup and hanging out for a bit and let them know why you are there that day.

If you plan on being at a starbucks put down the address of the Starbucks you'll be at so others can join you.

i finally just read this

http://forusa.org/features/boycott-starbucks-valentines-day/10159

My favorite part is "The NRA has lobbied for “open carry” gun policies nationwide." part. Like the NRA has anything to do with open carry..

I am going to pick a location either in Roseville or in New Baltimore. If one or two people want to hang out, hit me up. I'm thinking of making a sign to hold on the sidewalk. Something like "guns (picture) give us the freedom to choose what coffee we drink. I wonder if the store manager would let me just open a tab? Everyone make sure to save your receipts! Imagine if we could coordinate a sinlge mailing to their headquarters just to say thanks. Even though they don't choose the "fight" we can still thank them for their decision.

Hi Chris,

I know there are some members (myself included) that will be attending the store in Allen Park, MI 48101 (about 20min east of you down I-94, for lunch that Tuesday

http://www.superpages.com/bp/Allen-Park-MI/Starbucks-L0125551975.htm

I know there are OCDO members talking of going to an Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor Starbucks (Be careful if you are carrying a pistol near U of M property as they are exempt from preemption that applies to cities under MCL 123.1102

You should see the thread on this there. I believe member scooter is going for coffee that day at the Arborland store (Off US23 & M17 [Washtenaw Ave] )

Thanks for the reply, I will head over to Allen Park. Figure better not to go at it alone and it would be nice to meet other members. Any idea about what time?

Glock9mmOldStyle · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2012, 03:46:44 PM »

Lunch time - rvd4now will be there at 11 but most of us will be there closer to noon.

Hey Q, can I get a daily post on the FB page for this until Tuesday, the number of going on the FB event has jumped significantly so the word is spreading!

I have dinner reservations with my wife on the east side then but I'll be sure to go to Starbucks at least twice during the day. I am going to try and get some $2 bills at the bank tomorrow to use for tips.

gryphon,

I hope you don't mind but I liked your picure and I really liked the wording of your message to the Starbucks Manager..... So, I "plagerized it" and I converted it to a pdf file that if you are clever you can print it on both sides and make little folding cards from it. I plan to hit several Starbucks in the Grand Rapids area with it on Tuesday.

If you object to my borrowing your words please let me know and I will remove this posting.

Thanks. I "attached" the pdf file to my last post. I'm going to print up a couple and leave in the tip jar.

The group calling for the boycott is claiming 12,000 gun homicides a year. I wonder how many of those were open carriers. That number seems low when compared to other things. I wonder how many doctors made mistakes that caused a death last year? How many people died in drunk driving accidents? How many died from tobacco induced illnesses? In 2008 there were 1.21 million abortions in this country, that's 100,000 a month.

Going to meet at Starbucks across from Midland Mall 5:00 PM

Pond Scum · « **Reply #35 on:** February 14, 2012, 05:27:18 PM »

I went to two different Starbucks today in Grand Rapids and gave them the little I love Guns and Coffee flyer. They had "heard" of the boycott but it seems I was the first to ask from either side of it.

Edit: I stopped by the Starbucks by Metro Hospital on the way home from work and met Steel Magnolia who was being escorted by 2 handsome young men!

I talked to the barista and he said that he had read a letter about the boycott 2 weeks ago but that today was just another day ... business as usual! I guess the anti-gun boycott hasn't picked up any support in Grand Rapids.

Starbucks in Wyoming (Byron Center Ave. & ran into Pondscum- nice to meet you.
