Have Fun at Frontsight Starbucks Employees

We’ve talked about the Open Carry initiative here a few times.  In response to this movement gun control advocates have asked private companies to ban firearms in their stores.  Starbucks responded to the requests by saying they will follow the laws that apply in their store locations and allow open carry if permitted.  Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight fame has taken notice and offered a free 4-day firearms training course to any Starbuck’s employee.

To thank the Starbucks’ organization for setting a stellar example of proper corporate policy, I will provide a $2,000 bonus to every Starbucks’ employee in the form of a Front Sight Four Day Defensive Handgun Course.

A nice gesture, but considering they just asked to be left out of the firearms rights debate Iggy may have put them right in the middle of it.  Oh well.  A little media whoring to promote your brand never hurt anyone, did it.

I wonder if he knows how many Starbucks store there are, let alone employees?  Just in case here are the Wikistats …

16,635 stores in 49 countries

128,898 employees in 2009
