Notice from Rangemaster, Memphis
« on: February 13, 2012, 02:58:01 PM »
This was just received from Rangemaster in Memphis (rangemaster.tom@gmail.com):

Anti-gun organizations have called for a nationwide boycott of Starbucks Coffee on Tuesday (tomorrow). This is an attempt to intimidate Starbucks into banning firearms from their stores all over the country.

These groups demanded that Starbucks post "No Guns" signs at their entrances to all stores, and Starbucks refused. Starbucks' position was that local state law should be sufficient, and that they would follow local laws. This, of course, infuriated the anti-gun crowd.

PLEASE go to your local Starbucks and buy something on Tuesday. We need this boycott effort to fail miserably. If Starbucks' sales actually go UP instead of down tomorrow, this will send a clear message to the anti-gunners and their supporters in the media.

Tuesday is Valentine's Day. Please buy your Honey a cup of coffee and a sweet treat at Starbucks to help the cause.

Starbucks is correct; a "No Guns" sign in Texas has no validity whatsoever. I'll keep paying their $1.77 a cup.

I usually don't go to Starbucks, but tomorrow I will.    :)

I was just there this afternoon but looks like I'll have to swing by for my afternoon fix tomorrow too!

In the few unlikely places in Texas a legal notice like this appears it is called, "The 30.06 Sign."

I like this bit of irony: we can carry concealed into a bank here but not a post office. "We have met the enemy and it is us."

In NC, we can't carry concealed into a bank, post office, or the Federal places; I'm so used to carrying everywhere else, I get to the door of the bank, and have to go back to the truck and leave it there; just a nuisance.

I suppose so.  We have to abide by the laws; they just break 'em.

Unless the bank has an entrance control system

Yep!  That'll stop 'em; but we don't have those either, around here.    :(

Most areas don't. Just some installed in the larger cities in PA that I know of.
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

Also, NYC, but that doesn't stop them, either, with just a clever bit of piggy-backing. There are plenty of bank robberies here, too, even with CHL permission.

Where there is a will there is a way.

Someone will always find a way around it.
