I still have a hard time supporting starbucks. After all they still refuse to send their coffee to our troops because they do not support the war. I guess no one has explained to them that supporting our men and women far from home, doesn't mean you have to approve of the cause.

This is 1/2 true according to snopes. Their company policy does not allow shipping free goods as donations and they choose to donate only in local communities where they have stores.
However, they do give free coffee to employees who then in return ship it to soldiers.

I believe these dudes need a permit to carry openly in CA, that makes them upstanding citizens.
Brady, well, they need more Soy.

No permit necessary, but open carried firearms must be unloaded. Obviously not about self defense, but about making a statement. It can't hurt to get others more used to seeing firearms around town, but I just can't see myself carrying an empty gun.
