Jeezus. Can these people do anything that doesn't involve humping their guns? Sheldon Cooper Aug 2013 #1

I don't think so! JustAnotherGen Aug 2013 #2

Some of us like Starbucks coffee. Bake Aug 2013 #167

That is the thing about Starbucks BainsBane Aug 2013 #105

But ask them when they will fight against weapons restrictions at airports Xipe Totec Aug 2013 #4

That's an ongoing area of legislation. Many airports let you carry in the non-secure area Recursion Aug 2013 #6

Who goes to the nonsecure area of an airport BainsBane Aug 2013 #7

People picking up and dropping off loved ones. Also people who like Cinnabon or Michael Crichton Recursion Aug 2013 #9

You can't even meet people in airports like you used to BainsBane Aug 2013 #11

I prefer to park and pay $2.00 every 20 minutes, Fuddnik Aug 2013 #43

Tampa International has the best set-up. Fuddnik Aug 2013 #120

I have not been to an airport with free parking in a long time. Jenoch Aug 2013 #128

In other words, there are "secure" places where they can't take weapons. Xipe Totec Aug 2013 #67

"Starbucks has an open policy regarding weapons at its establishments." Jenoch Aug 2013 #8

any business has the right to refuse to allow weapons in their establishment BainsBane Aug 2013 #10

Huh? What are you talking about? Jenoch Aug 2013 #97

Because GUN NUTS feel the need to carry their penis substitutes anywhere Fortinbras Armstrong Aug 2013 #155

I'm certainly glad I'm not a gun nut. Jenoch Aug 2013 #163

Now that was a thoughtfull, well reasoned comment. tumtum Aug 2013 #165

It's the way I truly feel, and I notice that you do not even try to contradict it Fortinbras Armstrong Aug 2013 #297

Even in Texas the law allows a business to declare itself a gun-free zone Recursion Aug 2013 #12

Yeah, I can't think of a jursidiction where that isn't allowed Recursion Aug 2013 #15

Starbucks can choose to restrict guns. They simply don't see the need to. nt hack89 Aug 2013 #16

the whole bullshit about mass shootings happening in gun free zones is an NRA talking point BainsBane Aug 2013 #148

So no one actually trains for combat on a military base? BainsBane Aug 2013 #176
