> 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.

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.

> I am writing you today to express my support for Starbucks in regards to the stance you have taken against anti-gun activists.It is rare in this day and age to see a company stand up for the constitutional rights of their customers so publicly on such a controversial subject.Our rights as Americans need to be exercised and expressed or we stand too loose them, and that is clearly understood by Starbucks. Before this event appeared in the news I was not a customer of Starbucks, admittedly I felt the coffee to be over priced.When I found out, however, that Starbucks supports the rights of their customers to bare arms I felt obligated to support a company that supports me. I now shop at Starbucks proudly, and take pride in knowing that I support a company that fights for my right to bare arms.Your customers appreciate everything you are doing for them, and we want to make sure that you know it. Keep fighting the good fight, and we will be here to provide you with the reasons to fight, and the financial foundation to do so.
