I don't know if it has changed but I know about 10 years ago, one of the Coors guy said they stand behind the right to bear arms. I think the NRA did a story about it. Again, this was a while ago.
EDIT: Okay, found the link NRA link. IT was in 2004 and they very well might have changed since then.

IMHO, I think Coors just gets slapped with internet rumors just like Coke, Tide and all the name brand products do.

I don't really care. I can't stand any of their undrinkable swill anyways. Might as well have a glass of toilet water.

The primary ownership, SAMMiller is based out of the UK. I doubt they are what we would consider "gun friendly".

Yes. I'm very aware of that. My neighbor from South Africa makes sure to remind me of that. None the less their corporate headquarters is in London and has been for a while.
I Second the Shiner recommendation.
