A Florida gun store operator has banned Muslims from his establishment, arguing that he has a right to deny service to anyone he considers a threat. Andy Hallinan made his decision after the shootings at military installations in Chattanooga, Tenn., last week.
Florida Gun Supply of Inverness, Fla., was declared a “Muslim-free zone” in a video Hallinan posted online over the weekend.
In response, President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice announced that it would launch a civil rights investigation into Hallinan’s establishment.
That’s the Obama administration: a radical Islamic extremist kills five American servicemen and the Pentagon suggests that recruiting offices keep their window blinds closed from now on. But if there’s even a hint than a Muslim could possibly see his civil rights violated at some indeterminate point in the future, Katie bar the door.
“I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community, and so effective immediately, I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply as a Muslim-free zone,” Hallinan announced in a video posted to Facebook. “I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots.”
The video had been viewed about 35,000 times by Tuesday morning and doubled that number over the next few hours as news got around.
“I’m not going to be asking every person who walks in what their religious background is. That’s not my business,” Hallinan told WFLA (H/T BizPac Review). “But I do have the right to deny firearms and training to anyone I deem as a threat.”

I saw an accurate statement.
Perhaps the guns could be offered with a liberal coating of porcine gun grease, and they could have a BBQ outside the front door featuring pulled pork, etc
Well, when you publicly admit to violating Federal law, maybe it’s not so surprising that you are then investigated for violating Federal law.
Yeah I knew that wasn’t going to work out too well. Obola will try to bankrupt this guy and if that doesn’t work out he’ll pull his FFL.
Going after patriotic Americans with government force, who only wish to protect themselves and their fellow patriots from Islamic terror.
This could end up as the straw that breaks the camel jockey's back.
Actually, the owner is violating the Civil Rights Law. Freedom of religion - remember? It applies to Muslims as well as Baptists and Catholics. A business is not supposed to be able to discriminate against someone based on their religious beliefs.
Pity that Obama doesn’t know how to apply that to the Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby...
Just make sure there’s plenty of pork products on the counters, by the door.
I’m taking a plane trip in about 6 weeks. Plan on showing up at the waiting area with a bag of pork rinds.
Show me where I typed “heard”.
He’s a gun store owner with different rules established by the BATF and FFL laws .... he explains that in the video I posted
you didn’t ... I responded grammatically and probably wrongly as well ... but .... what was the statement you saw ?
Guess you can backtrack through the threads just like anyone else.

Those rules don't exempt him from the Civil Rights Act.
I hope it goes to court and the owner argues muslims present a threat, then use their islamic teaching to confirm this.
We still need to rally around this guy
Everything I read above are correct statements
So you agree with post #2?
He should apologize immediately and say all moslems are welcome.
Then get an electric skillet. Bacon should be simmering all day long. Have a sign on the front door that the door handles are especially clean because they are wiped in bacon crease each morning. Prevents rust doncha know?
