" Update: This post has been changed to reflect that Chick-fil-A was previously featured in the news regarding one other political issue.  The national gun debate, with regards to eatery policies, continues after Starbucks asked patrons to no longer bring guns to its locations last week. According to The Times-Picayune, state representative Jeff Thompson recently held a pro gun event called &amp;quot;Guns and Coffee&amp;quot; at a local Louisiana Chick-fil-A in response to the controversial Starbucks decision. Despite the fact that Chick-fil-A allows guns based on area laws, the chain, which was previously in the political spotlight regarding gay marriage, says that it was not an official host and did not sponsor the event. &amp;quot;Chick-fil-A is not sponsoring an event associated with this cause&amp;quot; stated Communications Vice President Carrie Kurlander. &amp;quot;People gather in our restaurants every day for food and hospitality (but) it&amp;#039;s our policy not to host political events,&amp;quot; a Chick-fil-A representative explained. Apparently the owner of the Bossier City location where the event was held even asked Thompson to move his &amp;quot;Coffee and Guns&amp;quot; meet-up elsewhere.
