Texas Gun Instructor Refuses to Teach Muslims How to Handle Firearms
AP ^ | November 1, 2011

MASON, Texas (AP) — On a YouTube clip that has gone viral, brash Texas handgun instructor Crockett Keller defiantly tells Muslims and non-Christian Arabs he won’t teach them how to handle a firearm.

State officials see the ad as possible discrimination, and may revoke Keller’s instructor license.

Tens of thousands of YouTube viewers have watched the $175 ad for Keller’s business in the small community of Mason, which has won him a handful of admirers but that embarrassed locals say misrepresents their community. Muslim groups dismissed the 65-year-old as a bigot.

Among the couple of thousand residents in the Central Texas town, Keller has other reputations.

“He’s a character and likes attention,” said Diane Eames, a jeweler with a downtown shop in Mason’s quaint town square.

Keller has received plenty of attention since his radio spot on a rural country music station in Mason County, about 100 miles east of Austin, went viral on the Internet. Keller said he whipped up the script on his iPad in 10 minutes. The ad quit airing last week.

In the Obama/Bizzaro world this means a new gubmint program will be created by Executive Order to have the Brady Campaign teach and arm Muslims and Socialists.

There is nothing wrong with his ad, but if he does deny service to someone based on race or ethnicity, he is going to be in a world of trouble.

Wasn't the flight school/instructor criticized and ridiculed for teaching the would-be 9/11 terrorists how to fly?

Looks to me like this is a ‘fool me twice’ moment.

Stick to your guns, Mr. Keller! (pun intended as well)

While I sympathize with his right to train whomever he wishes, I don’t get the ad. He does have the right to alert the Feds to suspicious characters, and it would be much sweeter to set the Feds on these characters while taking their money.

And who taught Hasan in preparation for Ft. Hood.

And the pilots for 9-11??

They can all go to hell.

Mohammedans can be the targets.

This guy should get together with the guy in Katy who has pig races next to the mosque on Fridays.

I thought Muslims got firearms training for free at their local Madrasah.

People need to realize we are in a civil war sans the shooting part so far on many fronts. If you are in a position to refuse employment, or specialized training to an unsavory character, do not disclose the reasons why. Doing otherwise sets you up for a lawsuit, one of the left’s favorite weapons. Be vigilant, but be smart too.

They’re better suited for explosives any way.

I have close family there. I just got back last weekend from checking the deer situation at the ranch. Had lunch at the Square Plate and looked at some houses for sale.

Mason is great but stay away if your a hippy or a liberal. They seem to be trickling in from Austin.

Texas Gun Instructor Refuses to Teach Muslims How to Handle Firearms

Interestingly, my Texas gun instructor, a retired Marine sergeant and former world Marine pistol champion marksman was the same way ... and was also a staunch gun control advocate!

Teaching Our Muzzie Friends Gun Handling,
Week One

That’s right, with a .300 magnum you’ve gotta snug that scope tight up against your eyeball.

With this here 10 gauge you gotta leave about 2 inches between the stock and your shoulder, then really jerk that trigger!

The best way to make sure your chamber is empty is to peer down the barrel. Use a flashlight.

When you shoot with friends safeguard your trigger: keep your finger on it at all times.

Only a proficient gunslinger can twirl a Glock on his finger. (Make sure it’s loaded.)

Let’s talk about gunplay. Guns were made to be tossed from hand-to-hand. And you can’t hurt a good one by dropping it or using it around the house, like a hammer.
