Firstly, (and this i...I read it several times over. Firstly, (and this is largely irrelevant) that request has legal weight in some jurisdictions that could carry jail time. Second, I never said they were banning guns. They made a request, and that's what I'm talking about. To say 'we don't want you carrying here' and 'you are not allowed to carry here' are not always well delineated. After all, in non-binding signage areas, they are precisely the same.<br /><br />Bob, your complaints about the imbalance of response are entirely valid. I have no disagreement, and hope I didn't say anything that seemed in opposition to that. That is one of the most frustrating things about all this. The conflict over gun rights in this country cannot have been started by the gun advocates, since, well, we used to have it all. What cause to fight could there possibly be? Being told 'just don't, it's bothering people' tells those people all they need to do is make a stink to slowly chip away at our rights.The Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759199694035145628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321534012888636142.post-77646847826691234772013-09-19T06:35:57.541-07:002013-09-19T06:35:57.541-07:00Anon,

Especially when they appear to be banning behavior/actions by only one side of the fracas.<br /><br /> Bob S.http://www.3boxesofbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321534012888636142.post-58460584013273534272013-09-18T23:17:34.520-07:002013-09-18T23:17:34.520-07:00Have you actually READ the Starbucks'?

Had they said "Hey, leave us out of the fight. EVERYONE take your advocacy, demonstrations, protests, etc OFF our property and we'll be happy to have you as customers for our product." -- I would have supported them 100% and urged gun owners to still buy their product, just not OC as an advocacy.<br /><br />They chose to tell me that I'm not welcome because I carry a weapon -- never mind the fact that their mugs are weapons. Or the fact that MacBooks, iPhones, etc are all weapons. Notice also knives aren't requested to stay away?<br /><br />I'm not sure it is a loss in the culture war. They still weasel worded the release -- trying to please both crowd and doing so for neither.<br /><br />I do think there needs to be a time when folks and corporations start deciding where they stand on our rights.
