SOUND OFF / Guns in Public

I'll have a double barrel latte, please

Posted: Thursday, March 04, 2010 by GoGetter

What if you walked into your neighborhood Starbucks and saw a bunch of people with guns.  Not robbing the place, just hanging out with guns.  Well I guess as reported here that question is already being asked in Northern California.

Perhaps your first reaction might be make sure who ever has the firearms doesn’t have too much coffee, or if they do that its decaf.  At least that would be my first thought.  But the bigger picture here is as the gun lobby continuously turns our nation into more of a wild west state, how do local gathering establishments such as the Starbucks of the world handle gun toting patrons.

The answer now is pretty much to do nothing, at least according to Starbucks.  Just throw the problem back to the state legislatures and stand behind the law that allows for public weaponry.  Forget about what it might mean to your own store and other customers who might not like some guy packing heat while he sips a latte next to you.

Guns and coffee?  Sounds like trouble to me.
