The woman owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Hot Springs, Arkansas has declared her territory a “Muslim-free zone” because of domestic terror by Muslims.
Jan Morgan posted on her website 10 reasons to support her new policy, which is certain to be challenged in the courts.
Lawyers are going to make a lot of money over this.
One of her arguments is that the United States refused to classify several murders as acts of terrorism, particularly last week’s beheading by a Muslim convert in Oklahoma, the attack by a Muslim on Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon bombing carried out two years ago by two Muslims.

Muslims could still be welcome. As long as they are limited to appearing as targets.
I went to the range. I carried 2 matching Rugers and 8 magazines each holding 7 rounds. I stood among 8 men, all equally armed. Each of them LEGAL permit holding gun owners.
I felt, as did they, as safe as I did sitting at home watching TV. Maybe SAFER, as I don’t have a gun in my hand at home.
This range operator is 100% correct in her action.
The ACLU will be marching very soon.
I have no way of looking at Islam other than as a theocracy, not a religion.
A theocracy is by definition a religion. It is more than a religion, to be sure, but doesn't cease to be a religion because it's also political, legal, etc.
IOW, theocracies are a subset of religions.
I'd be ok with a campaign to remove theocracies from 1a protection. Let's start ramping up to amend the Constitution appropriately.
Just keep in mind that some government agency or court will then be empowered to determine which religions are really theocracies. Do we really want that?
This could be dangerous. I mean, if Muslims are banned from killing practice at gun ranges, they’ll have to resort to beheadings! Oh, wait...
Jan Morgan you’re my type of dame. Someone must have the guts to be the first and you are the one. God bless you.
I would feel safe at your range.
I respectfully disagree. I understand a religion to be a body of ideas about God’s relationship to the world and to people. I think the Enlightenment, by separating religion and the state, was based on the idea that people have a private area within which they have the right to reach whatever conclusions they want about those issues.
When the body of thought extends into the actual governance of the world as to people who do not adhere to the religion, I think it goes beyond religion and starts to be about politics. I agree with the Range Owner’s contention that Islam does that. Christianity certainly doesn’t — that’s why Jesus said people should render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and render unto God that which is God’s — and I think the same is true of Rabbinic Judaism, Buhddism, and pretty much every other religion I can think of — EXCEPT Islam.
The lady has guts. Prayers are with her.
“The ATF informed us when we received the license that if we feel any reason for concern about selling someone a firearm, even sense that something is not right about an individual, or we are concerned about that persons mental state, even if they pass a background check, we do not have to sell that person a gun.”
Sounds like she is following BATF guidance.
ACLU and CAIR to the white phone please .....
