Whaddaya know\u2026some correspondence in the Comments section in regard to the recent blog entries on the Appleseed Project led to an invitation to talk about it on Appleseed Radio.\u00a0 At this time, it\u2019s tentatively scheduled for this coming Tuesday evening, February 16, at 7:00 PM Central Time. I understand that instructions on where to find it are at http:\/\/www.blogtalkradio.com\/AppleseedRadio<\/a>. Thanks to Mike Adam and Sam Damewood for making it happen. Don\u2019t be surprised if you hear me ask Mike more questions than he asks me; I\u2019m still learning about this way cool outfit. And if you\u2019re free the evening of Sunday the 14th<\/sup>, nothing quite expresses Valentine\u2019s Day sentiment like the true story of a citizen who drew his own gun and shot an armed robber who threatened him and the woman he loved. Mark Walters will host that brave individual to tell his story on Armed American Radio<\/a> or at WGKA<\/a> starting at 8 PM Eastern time. I might be on as one of the commentators there, if I can get home to a hard line phone to join in after attending a Glock match with my sweetie. (Nothing quite says \u201cValentine\u2019s Day Romance\u201d like disciplined gunfire, either.)<\/p>\n

On each show, you might hear me sipping a Starbucks Frappucino in the background. It seems that in California, where some gun owners\u2019 civil rights activists are demonstrating for freedom to get concealed carry permits by open-carrying unloaded handguns in public, a chain of upscale coffee shops called Peet\u2019s banned the practice. The open carry advocates moved to a local Starbucks, which welcomed them and their guns, stating that their policy is that Starbucks coffee shops will cleave to the letter of the law. All RIGHT!<\/p>\n

The Brady Bunch have a website where outraged anti-gunners can register mass protest against Starbucks\u2019 policy, and implore them to ban guns in their shops. Might be a good idea for folks from our side to let Starbucks know that we appreciate their respect of American law and individual freedoms. The link for that is HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not normally an habitu\u00e9 of Starbucks. I have an unhealthy fear of being called a Yuppie. (The last time someone called me a Yuppie, I was so shocked I spilled my Perrier on my Reeboks.) But ya just gotta support a company that supports gun owners\u2019 rights, even though Paul Helmke and some of the rest of the gun-banning crowd seem to be wetting their panties over Starbucks\u2019 policy.<\/p>\n

So, what the heck, see if a nice latte from Starbucks goes down well with a discussion of why individual citizens\u2019 access to firearms is a civil rights issue and a personal safety issue.<\/p>\n

Besides, if you listen to me talk on either night, you\u2019ll probably need some caffeine to stay awake, anyway.<\/p>\n

Here, Mas open carries in a Starbucks in Arizona. Note that no one seems to care. Pistol is a SIG P226 9mm in an LFI Concealment Rig by Ted Blocker. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
