crazychicknladyToo bad, I really liked my occasional five dollar white chocolate mocha from the Starbucks in my grocery store.

"For those who champion “open carry,” please respect that Starbucks stores are places where everyone should feel relaxed and comfortable. The presence of a weapon in our stores is unsettling and upsetting for many of our customers."
Seriously, substitute something like "black person", "gay person", "handicapped person", "deaf person", hell even "breastfeeding", for weapon and you'll see how absurd this statement is. What if I only feel "relaxed and comfortable" when I know I have a means of protecting myself and my family if an armed psycho decides to target the place where I'm trying to enjoy my coffee?
