Mas Ayoob: Sipping on Starbucks and Listening to the Radio

I'm not a fan of Starbucks coffee, but I may go in and buy a cup of frappulatechino the next time I pass one.

A SIP OF STARBUCKS WHILE LISTENING TO THE RADIO

Whaddaya know…some correspondence in the Comments section in regard to the recent blog entries on the Appleseed Project led to an invitation to talk about it on Appleseed Radio. At this time, it’s tentatively scheduled for this coming Tuesday evening, February 16, at 7:00 PM Central Time. I understand that instructions on where to find it are at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/AppleseedRadio. Thanks to Mike Adam and Sam Damewood for making it happen. Don’t be surprised if you hear me ask Mike more questions than he asks me; I’m still learning about this way cool outfit. And if you’re free the evening of Sunday the 14th, nothing quite expresses Valentine’s Day sentiment like the true story of a citizen who drew his own gun and shot an armed robber who threatened him and the woman he loved. Mark Walters will host that brave individual to tell his story on Armed American Radio or at WGKA starting at 8 PM Eastern time. I might be on as one of the commentators there, if I can get home to a hard line phone to join in after attending a Glock match with my sweetie. (Nothing quite says “Valentine’s Day Romance” like disciplined gunfire, either.)

On each show, you might hear me sipping a Starbucks Frappucino in the background. It seems that in California, where some gun owners’ civil rights activists are demonstrating for freedom to get concealed carry permits by open-carrying unloaded handguns in public, a chain of upscale coffee shops called Peet’s banned the practice. The open carry advocates moved to a local Starbucks, which welcomed them and their guns, stating that their policy is that Starbucks coffee shops will cleave to the letter of the law. All RIGHT!

The Brady Bunch have a website where outraged anti-gunners can register mass protest against Starbucks’ policy, and implore them to ban guns in their shops. Might be a good idea for folks from our side to let Starbucks know that we appreciate their respect of American law and individual freedoms. The link for that is HERE.

Now, I’m not normally an habitué of Starbucks. I have an unhealthy fear of being called a Yuppie. (The last time someone called me a Yuppie, I was so shocked I spilled my Perrier on my Reeboks.) But ya just gotta support a company that supports gun owners’ rights, even though Paul Helmke and some of the rest of the gun-banning crowd seem to be wetting their panties over Starbucks’ policy.

So, what the heck, see if a nice latte from Starbucks goes down well with a discussion of why individual citizens’ access to firearms is a civil rights issue and a personal safety issue.

Besides, if you listen to me talk on either night, you’ll probably need some caffeine to stay awake, anyway.

Ayoob has written a series of articles about Appleseed recently. It sounds like he is a fan of the program. I will have to listen tomorrow.

Yeah, there is a lot more to starbucks than 6 dollar lattes, something there for every coffee drinking gun guy to enjoy. If you dont like coffee they have some foo-foo candy flavored coffee drinks that dont even taste like coffee anyway.

Nothing warms up my trips to the range with my son like a Grande Earl Grey Tea. Laugh it up, boys, but coffee's off the menu. Doctor's orders. Already emailed them and thanked them for their RKBA support. I suggest you all do the same. You know the sheople are..........
