Should Starbucks Ban Guns From Its Coffee Shops?

The Takeaway

Starbucks says guns are no longer welcome in its cafes, though it is stopping short of an outright ban on firearms.
The coffee chain moved away from its neutral stance on guns in its stores Wednesday, publicly requesting that customers not bring weapons into its coffee shops.
The company’s CEO Howard Schultz says customers who bring in guns will still be served and won’t be asked to leave.
“Starbucks is not a policy maker,” Schultz says, adding the company is not pro- or anti-gun, but believes that weapons “should not be part of the Starbucks experience.”
