In the five months since Hot Springs, Arkansas, gun range owner Jan Morgan banned Muslims from her facilities, she has seen business quadruple. She has also faced threats and the prospect of lawsuits, which so far, have not materialized. Morgan owns Gun Cave Indoor Firing Range. According to Fox News, Morgan decided to ban Muslims after two customers she deemed suspicious showed up in September. Since that time, she has excluded those she believes to be Muslim based upon their names. Morgan sees it as a safety issue. She said, We are dealing in lethal firearms. I am not going to let a Nazi shoot in here, or a Ku Klux Klan member in here, either. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has written Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to intervene. In the letter, CAIR said, Given the recent spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric, including Islamophobic statements by government officials, community leaders and media outlets, death threats, and other bias incidents targeting Muslims, I urge you to investigate this matter soon. CAIR argued that banning Muslims from the shooting range is a violation of federal laws prohibiting racial and religious discrimination. The ACLU is also asked the DOJ to do something about Morgans policies, and they want to talk to any Muslim who gets turned away from Morgans shooting range. But Morgan is standing her ground. She compared offering target practice to potential terrorists to flight schools offering lessons to the 9/11 terrorists.

Brave lady.
Know what?
You are right!
Would it be wrong of me to suggest that she allow them in. But, um, through the back door. You know, at the other end of the range?
I’ve seen them really dressed up-—really out of place in a gun shop-—buying legally, and smiling and smirking the entire time. Know what? they are stoopid and arrogant.
That’s funny :)
Hey... that is my rifle... bipod and all. Different optic though. Love that gun.

That sounds like a t-shirt waiting to happen.
Sell pastry at the register. Bacon maple bars would deter the unwanted.
