Arkansas shooting range brands itself 'Muslim free zone'

Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Firing Range in Hot Springs, Arkansas, announced on social media that she is banning Muslims from her shooting range "out of fear for the safety of her patrons," the Washington Times reports.

"This is a live fire indoor shooting range," she wrote on her blog and in a Facebook post. "People come here to buy, rent, and shoot lethal weapons... My patrons depend on me and my discretion regarding who I allow to shoot beside them. One mistake in judgment on my part could cost innocent people their lives."

Morgan went on, "Why would I want to rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?"
