Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Hot
Springs, Arkansas, published a note on her website Sunday declaring
her intention to ban Muslims from her business.
"The Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range is now a a MUSLIM FREE ZONE," Morgan wrote.
Morgan, who describes herself as a "nationally recognized 2nd
Amendment advocate," attributed her decision to the dangerous nature
of her business.
"This is a live fire indoor shooting range. People come here to buy,
rent, and shoot lethal weapons," wrote Morgan. "In the range, people
are shooting guns in close proximity to each other, so my patrons
depend on me and my discretion regarding who I allow to shoot beside
them. One mistake in judgement on my part could cost innocent people
their lives."
Morgan, who did not respond to a request for comment from Business
Insider, went on to list the reasons she believes it would be poor
judgement to allow Muslims at her gun range. She cited past
experiences she claimed to have had with Muslims, terrorist acts
committed by jihadist groups, and verses in the Koran that she said
advocate violence against non-Muslims.
"I understand that not all muslims [sic] are terrorists. I also
believe there are as many Muslims who do not know what is in their
Koran as there are Christians who do not know what is in their Bible,"
explained Morgan. "Since I have no way of discerning which muslims
will or will not kill in the name of their religion and the commands
in their koran…I choose to err on the side of caution for the safety
of my patrons."
