How exactly is anyone with a cell in their brain supposed to support open carry under these antics?
Push it far enough and all of Corp America will post 3006 ending what we call concealed carry today.
Many members of Corporate Boards serve for multiple entities. Push enough buttons and a few thousand that run 80% of the Corporations in the US can fix this for us all.
In my most polite and political tone, quiet down and let this go away by itself.

Re: Starbucks folds to antis
I work for a large big box store.
A few weeks ago, my gm called me and stated that there were demonstrations going on with open carry individuals and that if anyone came into our biz, I was to call the police immediately.
I expressed my opinion and told him that this was exactly the response these "groups" were looking for and that I would not comply as I saw it as a negative for the unit AND that it wasn't legal. I expressed that if we fought, it would simply be a spring board for future demonstrations... (read a negative for 2nd amen rights).
The next day there were conference calls from the top brass. The statement my company came to was to "acknowledge and do not deny access to our business and do not call LEO".
I can't say that my words made the change of heart, but it was very apparent that someone agreed with what I stated. From this point, it has been a non issue for my company.
Had SB just kept quite, it probably would have just gone away. But, they have just catapulted every other corp biz to go to legal and officially post 30.06.
Not good for us.
I don't know if SB legal has contemplated the legalities of making SB's "gun free zones" considering how successful that has been for gov'mt installations recently.
Carry on, keep quite.
