Thousands of gun owners pledge to visit Starbucks for ‘Appreciation Day’

Washington Examiner - A group of American gun owners wants to thank Starbucks for refusing to ban gun carrying customers from their stores.

To thank the coffee chain, over 3,000 gun owners have signed up on Facebook pledging to visit their local Starbucks today – with a gun if possible.

The Facebook group notes:

Starbucks is allowing us to lawfully carry firearms in their store. Recently, they have been the target of unjust attacks from certain groups that do not support our right to bear arms. We will thank Starbucks for standing up for our right to bear arms by going there on Friday, August 9th.

We ask that if you choose to carry a firearm during this event that you follow all local, state, and national laws; and if you choose not to carry that you wear pro-gun rights apparel.
