K cups from menards or Amazon are better

K-cups from Starbucks or Caribou aren't too bad either.

It's a matter of taste, isn't it? Not every body has to like the same coffe that you like? And some people don't mind paying more for coffee that they like?

I'm all for OC. I OC because it's what works best for me. I don't do it for a political statement or anything else other than my personal choice, comfort and security/protection. I think a-hats like this who are OCing a RIFLE is just asking for trouble. Really? A RIFLE? Legal? If it is, sure, ok...but it's really not practical is it? I think most people would find carrying a pistol to be much more practical than a rifle is in their day to day civilian lifestyle. Now taking that rifle into a hotbed of controversy (Starbucks via their statement/request), is making a political statement that will only serve to do us more harm than good as a community.

Yeah... kind of a tough one for me. I don't agree with what some of those folks did (carrying rifles), but I also don't like getting on someone for exercising their rights.

Do I think it was a smart thing to do? Absolutely not.

That said, I know there are a lot of people out there who don't agree with carrying any guns open or concealed. A lot of you have made bold statements against any open carry at all, and to me this is just a domino waiting to fall.

It used to be normal/accepted to see a rifle or shotgun in the back window, forget it now.

If we keep reducing what is 'acceptable' we'll soon find that the only way to exercise our rights is to keep them hidden, or to not do it in public. The reality is, an AR could be more effective for self defense in public places than a handgun, and less likely to cause harm to innocent people, but reality and perception aren't one in the same.

I know! Right? They drive the wrong cars, shoot the wrong brand and caliber of gun, use the wrong computer platform, worship the wrong god...unbelievable that they can't see The True Path.
