Starbucks Closes Newtown, CT Store to Prevent Open Carry Event Planned for Friday Evening

Sorry, All. I think its pretty insensitive and needlessly provocative. Better ways and places to show support for SBUX policy.

I cannot blame them. They have a business to run. No matter how we feel.

What bothers me is that I didn't hear of the event until this evening. I'd have gone to Starbucks today had I known.

I've opened carried in SBUX down here in Chester-Hell quite often.

The one at Rt 10 never even blinks, and I even got a compliment on my custom leather work I did on my holster.
