Florida restaurant refuses to serve Muslim guests
The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against a gun shop whose owner declared it a "Muslim-free zone" earlier this month.
Andy Hallinan drew national media attention when he announced that he would "not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots" at his Florida Gun Supply in Inverness.
He made the declaration that he had "a moral and legal responsibility" to take action days after a Muslim-American man went on a shooting rampage at two Chattanooga, Tenn. military facilities by a gunman that left four Marines and one Navy sailor dead.
In the lawsuit, CAIR-FL asks the court to grant an injunction against the gun shop, prohibiting it from discriminating against Muslims or instituting any policies or practices that discriminate or segregate people on the basis of religion.

from 2015. But worthy of discussion.
^^^ This presents a true dilemma for moonbats. On one hand this should be viewed as clear discrimination against a protected class of people. On the other hand, if all gun vendors nationwide took this stance there is a possibility that the Orlando shooter would not have been able to obtain an evil assault rifle and murder patrons of a gay bar. Choices, choices....

Gun shop=restaurant, huh?
Seems they may have taken the phrase "Eat lead!" a bit too far.

It is a good idea for a business.

Oh, philo reads it first alright - he is a mole and an unsubtle one at that. I think he is a freeper that used to support Ron Paul. ::)

Analogous to restaurants on the dock where they will cook the fish you catch.

A federal discrimination lawsuit filed by a Muslim activist group against a Florida gun retailer owner who declared his shop a “Muslim-Free Zone†has been dismissed.
U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom ruled that Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan’s sign was protected by the First Amendment, and the activists couldn’t prove they were injured by the action, a local NBC affiliate reported.
The plaintiff, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida, has 30 days to appeal the decision.
Mr. Hallinan made headlines earlier this year when he declared his Inverness store a “Muslim-free zone†in the wake of the shooting of four servicemen outside a recruiting office in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by an Islamic extremist.
CAIR announced the lawsuit against the gun store in July, saying the Muslim-free zone amounted to religious discrimination, violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The 30 days are long past. Did CAIR file an appeal? Or was costing the shop owner 1000s of dollars to defend himself in court all CAIR wanted to accomplish?

I would think they would be applauding that someone couldn't buy a gun :whistling:
