Ive never been there before, but This Is valentines Day!!!

So I asked if they had any protesters?? No...

they asked what kind ,, was my gun, star modelo super.
one girl said she and her hubby want to get guns too,,, and motioned to her hips, as if to draw two guns!
they made me some deliouse coffee, and we made small talk for awhile.

I made sure to tell them thank you to Starbucks for following State Law,, and support all our rights.

I didn't see any or hear about any on the news but one of my friends said she saw some protesters outside a Starbucks in Arlington in the morning. She OCd there yesterday evening but didn't see any there at the time.

The wifester and I stopped by our nearby Starbucks a second time last night and we were both OCing (unlike in the morning due to work). The barista who took care of us saw my pistol, but didn't say anything. So when I normally wouldn't have spent any money there on a regular occasion, they got about $10 out of me. :)

Was at the Oxbridge store from 745-830. Bought $30 worth of coffee and had many smiles and thank you's and a few good conversations.

No anti's showed, but the employees enjoyed the deal and laughed about the boycott. Business was busy as usual.
I've OC'ed at that location several times. I'd guess they get quite a few OC'ers with the Harley shop right next door. I happened to be on the other side of town that evening and stopped in at the location in Mechanicsville.

Picked up flowers for my better half and stopped in at Starbucks at the Southlakes Shopping Center in Reston. Standing in line to pay for the flowers at Safeway, two women got into line behind me then right out of line. The two guys that followed did not seem to mind my Glock 19.

The young lady at Starbucks saw the 2 dollar bill and smiled. She got one for a tip! A little girl (6 or 7 years old) told her mother, "That man has a gun!" Her mother shushed her and told the little girl not to stare... :eek:

Got my hairs cut (all 250 of them) and stopped at Starbucks next door -tipped with $2 bills at both locations. Only comment at either was "nice grips on your 1911." :D
