On Gun Control: 2013: Requested customers not bring guns to Starbucks

Schultz released an open letter containing a "respectful request that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas." In the past Starbucks simply "followed local laws." This prompted gun enthusiasts to stage "Starbucks Appreciation Days" while armed. Schultz said "we do not want these events in our stores. The presence of a weapon in our stores is unsettling and upsetting for many of our customers." Source: The Economist magazine on 2020 presidential hopefuls Sep 18, 2013
