Perhaps, it might be in our best interest this time around, to not have an open carry Staples appreciation day.
Until this month, coffee lovers with a hankering for a soy latte were welcome to bring their loaded weapons into Starbucks outlets nationwide.
That is, until Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz wrote an open letter to Americans making a “respectful request” that java junkies leave their guns at home.
Schultz didn’t ban guns from the coffee giant’s stores, but he made it clear they’re not welcome, state-by-state “open carry” laws notwithstanding.
Now, with one major victory under their belts, gun control advocates are setting their sights on another large, publicly traded chain.
“We’re moving on from Starbucks to Staples ,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a group of 110,000 grassroots activists formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
