Starbucks Requests No Guns in Their Stores

Starbucks Requests No Guns in Their Stores:  In an open letter posted on the firm's website, Howard Schultz, the chief executive of Starbucks, is asking customers of the coffee chain to honor a request to no longer bring guns into its stores.  I can sort of understand where the gun owners are coming from though.  Sometimes you just need an extra “shot” in your cappuccino.
