State-Certified Handgun Instructor In Texas Refuses To Teach Muslims, Obama Supporters

By Alex Seitz-Wald posted from ThinkProgress Justice on Oct 29, 2011 at 10:00 am

Crockett Keller, a state-certified gun safety instructor in Texas, wants to help you get a concealed handgun lesson — that is, unless you’re Muslim or liberal. “If you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class with no shame,” he says in a controversial new radio playing around Mason, TX, where Keller owns a gun store. “If you are a socialist liberal and or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as under the law,” he added. In an interview with a local ABC affiliate, Keller made it clear he was serious: “I will give up my license to teach before I will teach them.”

“I consider all Muslims our enemies, no matter how nice they are,” Keller said. “I could not trust one and I, as an instructor, am not going to teach one how to shoot a gun and aid him in getting a license.”

As a growing number of states rush to gun regulations and make concealed handgun licenses easier to obtain, Keller’s cases raises questions about who’s training this influx of new people owning and carrying firearms.

As the Southern Poverty Law Center’s HateWatch blog noted, “It’s not clear whether this type of discrimination is lawful,” as business owners have considerable discretion in whom they serve. The Texas Department of Public Safety, which certifies individuals to teach concealed handgun lessons, said discrimination puts instructors’ certification at risk of “suspension or revocation,” but that they need a formal complaint with evidence before they can act.

So you believe it's okay to discriminate based on religion?

Alrightie...don't come whining when some Christian feels butthurt because he thinks he's being discriminated against.

Just keep reminding yourself...it's a free country...
 
This is hilarious, Zippy thinking that Islam is a race, Poet defending him, then Zippy admitting that he "screwed the pooch".

What's Poet's next move? :)

UPDATING AN EARLIER REPORT:

On the local news the other night, they ran a story about how the state's AG is investigating the guy to see if his license can be revoked.

During the report, the TV station produced and played a radio ad paid for by Keller where he clearly states he will not train any "non-Christian Arabs and Muslims".

That to me appears to be a clear cut case of racism...

Looks like he may get his license to instruct taken away from him. He says it won't stop him from teaching.

No one really gives a shit about religious bigotry in America in 2011, which is sort of the point. Why do you think its so "in" to hate Tim Tebow?

The reason I hate him, the media blew him up! He sucks, but all we hear is Tebow. this and Tebow that, and boy, he Tebowed him and it just got nauseating because he doesn't play well enough to be a pro, college ball, yes, but nfl, no, he wasn't ready. His open display of his religion has nothing to do with the way I feel about him! It makes him a role model to some, but if you want to be a good quarterback, dont do a Tebow! Just my personal take on the issue, I am sure there are those who dislike him for his faith, but I am not one of them.

Really makes some people angry when they can't control others. He's right. He can't be stopped from teaching.
