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.”

Thank you.
We went through all THAT ... for THAT ?
The DC Cartel is our biggest enemy. Bar none.
A gun owner can refuse any sale that he perceives is unwise. Yes, he really can.
No, because it went like THIS: (let me refresh your memory)

We have Trump calling out every crook in the political world and we have a an independent, free man establishing LEGAL RULES for his establishment.

“Civil” (?) Rights, 0bamaStyle. Hope all of the millions of non-black or muslim, who voted for this clown, are still happy with their hopeless change.
And everybody that comes in has to pet the dog.
The President, the Senate, the Congress, Governors, Mayors, City councilmen . Hillary, The head of the IRS all have publicly admitted to violating Federal Law, and they aren't investigated. Or if they are, it is quietly dropped once the it's not in the news anymore.
A gun store dog. Lol,,, perfect add on.
With your rationale, when is obama going to be investigated?
Oh hell .... you were the last in LINE !
You seem like a lover of tyranny.
Unjust laws are MADE to be broken.
Your name has popped on my radar more than once.
Well, then start with somebody else, next time.
And it is not a violation of federal law. No matter how much whiners want to pretend it is, an FFL holder is under NO legal requirement to complete sales to anyone. He does not have to explain his reasons to anyone either.
The appeal is to go to another gun store.
The government will only say a sale may proceed, not that it MUST proceed. They wont give gun dealers that kind of legal cover.
So DOJ will stamp their feet, but they can do nothing. And they should know they are tape recorded I bet everytime they come into that store.
He can, but in this politically-charged environment in which we find ourselves, he should have just quietly refused sales to whoever he deems unfit. Now, he has the full force of the government on his back. I’m sure there are Muslims who want to own firearms for reasons other than shooting up recruitment centers. Would this guy have sold guns and ammo to the whacked out kid who killed 9 blacks at church? Probably not.
What a profoundly laughable comment.
Awwww, you are the leftist puke masquerading as a Conservative.
It must be so difficult for you, a rabid lying leftist, to pretend to be a Conserative.
Why don't you be honest with yourself. Go back to the DUmp and be with your Marxist, anti-Liberty comrades.
That’s why I would welcome moslems and have the bacon simmering. Normal people would love it.
No kidding!
Unjust laws are MADE to be broken. Your name has popped on my radar more than once.
Laz, we think alike. See my post #57 above. This guy is a leftist fraud. Almost all his comments belittle Conservatives. I am surprised he has lasted this long.
