aug9,2013: Newtown group objects to gun rights rally at Starbucks NBC News A gun control group in Newtown, Conn., is standing up against gun rights advocates planning a rally at a local Starbucks. Newtown Action Alliance objected to a "Starbucks Appreciation Day" Friday, saying the community was still healing. The group encouraged Starbucks to evaluate its policy allowing guns in their stores.
Gun rights supporters embarked on a nationwide effort to spend money at local Starbucks stores, supporting the Seattle-based coffee chains policy of abiding by state laws allowing an open policy on carrying weapons inside their establishments. The event was initiated and advertised through a Facebook event page created by gun owners urging firearm supporters to visit Starbucks carrying firearms or wearing pro-gun rights apparel to show their appreciation.
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, the page said. We will thank Starbucks for standing up for our right to bear arms by going there on Friday, August 9th. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/09/19949259-newtown-group-objects-to-gun-rights-rally-at-starbucks?lite
