    could you elaborate on this please? I don't understand. as to the bold? the starbucks print in bold? I guess what i'm asking is, are you saying that everyone who owns a gun is heartless and callous?
    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    It must just piss you off that they won't let you into a PJ concert without your gun, huh?

    Think of how cool it would be if everyone was allowed to have their guns at the shows. Just before the first notes of every new song... people would be like, "Wait for it. Wait for it..." Then if the song was the one they were hoping for, they could yell, "Yee Haw" and shoot a couple of rounds in the air. The really cool guys would have two pistols and fire double handed.

    You would know who else was hearing the song they were hoping to hear by seeing who was shooting their pistol and yelling "Yee Haw' too. It would be a neat way of making connections with the other fans.

    All the people without guns would be like, "Fuk. I wish I had a gun to shoot!" Then they would come on to the forum and petition the 10C to offer pistols at the concerts.

    Of course it goes without saying that if any asshole stepped in front of you in the bathroom line... you could calmly just pull back your hoody so that they could see you were packing. That guy would step right out of your way and you could feel like a serious dude.

    It could lead to people robbing others of their posters, but nothing is perfect.

    Yeah, that's what happens we'd all just shoot into the air. :rolleyes


    I don't get tickets, well I wasn't selected for the "random" drawings anyway.

    And no I wouldn't complain about not being armed at a concert, but I also wouldn't be bothered one bit if people were.

    Sorry, it's a bit difficult to decipher through typed words. I rarely take offense. It's good.

    yeah, but Starbucks doesnt want their employees put in the position of telling an armed potential customer to leave.

    Understandably so , I might add.
