Florida gun-shop owner declares store 'Muslim-free zone'

[abasin]

So in other words, he will be FORCED to sell guns....the hypocrisy of the Left is MINDBOGGLING!

Can you just imagine if they ever get their communist utopia. Progs would be forced by the government to be gun dealers. Some poor sap more suited to dancing ballet will have the state demand he open up a gun store instead. LOL.

Ok, it's an unrealistic thought but I get a chuckle out of those who rally for governmental control over a supposed free people.

Private companies should not be allowed to do this. Slippery slope. However, the government should ban anyone associated with extremist organizations from owning guns. That includes Islam.

Timothy McVeigh?

Timothy McVeigh?

Not a gov't sponsored terrorist. and according to hussein, wouldn't mcveigh just be a "work place violence" guy?

How the hell will he know if a customer is a Muslim or not?

all muslims wear turbans and easy-to-spot bomb vests, of course

No he won't force anyone to do anything.

Gun store will be sued and ordered to not discriminate by Florida state court.

So in other words, he will be FORCED to sell guns....the hypocrisy of the Left is MINDBOGGLING!

No.  I think the FFL laws translate into he can sell or not not sell - to those who pass the background check - to anyone he chooses.  Or he could slow walk the paperwork.  Or accidentally misquote something on the 4423.

Is this legal in Florida?

That shop owner is taking a huge risk! I wonder what he'll do if he refuses to sell a gun to a muslim, and then that guy sues him for discrimination, and asks for $5 million in damages for emotional and mental suffering resulting from the denial of service.

There is no way to find that out. More than one third of all the Muslims in the United States are African-American, and it is extremely hard to distinguish these people from the other African Americans. Growing numbers are from Bosnian, Albanian, Chechen and Turkish backgrounds. It is not easy to distinguish them from the Italian Americans or the Latinos.
