183. Newtown Starbucks patrons ask gun rights activists to leave them alone

NEWTOWN -- As more than 2,000 gun rights advocates planned to participate with their weapons in a national "Starbucks Appreciation Day," gun control activists were asking them to leave Newtown alone.

The Starbucks on Church Hill Road here is a short distance from the Sandy Hook Elementary School where 20 first-graders and six educators were shot to death by a lone gunman on Dec. 14.

Friday morning there were no demonstrations yet at the shop, and several local people enjoying their morning coffee said they were surprised anyone would come to the shop with a gun.

"Why would you need guns at a Starbucks?" asked Donna Monteleone, a Newtown resident and veteran of the U.S. Army, as she threw her hand into the air. "Why would you need them anywhere unless you're law enforcement?"

The founder of Newtown Action Alliance, a local grassroots organization which supports gun control laws, said the group was trying to discourage gun rights groups from holding a "Starbucks Appreciation Day" in Newtown Friday.
