The other side of that coin is the "anti-boycott" planned by The Truth About Guns (TTAG)

Bottom line, consider buying some coffee at Starbucks on February 14. And consider paying with a $2 bill.

But, please do us all a favor....don't open carry. Such an in-your-face political statement is counterproductive. Concealed Carry means just that...conceal it, even if your state allows open carry. No need to get everyone all upset, just quietly affirm your rights, and show Starbucks that you support their decision.



This state (Minnesota) has an interesting take on businesses banning guns. A very specific sign has to be posted, and the statutes not only specify the wording, but also the size of the sign, and even the font used. Anything else makes it pointless. And, in fact the signs are pointless anyway, because even if you carry a weapon in a store that is posted "no guns", all they can do (if they catch you) is ask you to leave. If and only if you refuse to leave, they can call the cops, who in turn can come and ticket you with trespass, which is a $25 dollar fine, and has no bearing on your permit, present or future. Most Minnesotans that carry concealed just ignore those signs if and when they encounter them, and that would include Starbucks, if they ever change their mind.
