My letter to Starbucks corporate and their response:
Thank you for respecting federal, state & local gun laws. I know you are getting flack for standing up for what is right. I just want to let you know that you have a whole country behind you. We will be in Starbucks like we normally are, but we will especially be there on February 14th to show our support and appreciation for your courage to do what is right. Because you support the 2nd amendment, we will continue to support you. Best wishes for a prosperous 2012!!!
Their response:
Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.
Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks' policy on open carry laws.
At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don't exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited.
As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers.
If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address, please feel free to let me know.
Warm Regards,

Too expensive, but I do like their coffee. Especially on Valentines day
