re: #296 Dark_Falcon

I need to move away from music music for a moment to post something I’ve been meaning to mention:

A group of gun-banners called the “National Gun Victims Action Council” has called for a boycott of Starbucks on Valentine’s Day, as Starbucks does not prohibit people holding a valid concealed carry permit from bringing their firearm into a Starbucks in areas where that is legal. In reply, a “Buycott” counter-plan is being promoted. The idea is to buy something from Starbucks on the 14th using $2 bills (2 for the 2nd Amendment and also because the reverse side of the bill contains a picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence). I support the Buycott and urge my fellow lizards to join me on Tuesday in telling the gun-grabbers off!

OK. What’s the deal. That site’s almost, normal. Saw a couple of threads related to Obama (getting OBL and repealing the CC in parks) and didn’t see any of the usual anti-Obama weirdness. As far as Starbucks allowing people with CC in places where CC is legal I think that’s up to them. I mean, if it’s legal it’s not like they’re doing anything unusual in their neighborhood. If they can legally decide not to allow it then that would be their option as well. It’s not Starbuck’s “fault” if people are allowed to enter stores with guns. That’s just the way the laws are written.
