Christian Firearms Safety Instructor Refuses to Train Muslims or Democrats (VIDEO)
'Why Should I Arm These People to Kill Me? That's Suicide!'
Crockett Keller, owner of Keller's Riverside Store, is being blasted for a radio ad that is being considered both racist and insensitive to beliefs.
In a radio ad from Oct. 26, Keller is offering firearm safety classes but says he will not teach a Muslim or anyone who voted for Obama.
"If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chief, please do not take this class," he said. "You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under the law. Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class. Once again, with no shame; I am Crockett Keller ... thank you and God bless America."
Keller warns of the controversial advertisement on his own website, but feels no shame in his actions stating he is just doing what he feels is right.
The 65-year-old told KVUE, "I call it exercising my right to choose who I instruct in how to use a dangerous weapon."
He continued, "The fact is if you are a devout Muslim then you cannot be a true American. Why should I arm these people to kill me? That's suicide."
Keller told The Houston Chronicle that many of his neighbors were supportive of his actions.
"The department became aware of the statements in question yesterday and has begun an investigation into the matter," said a spokeswoman at the Texas Department of Public Safety in a prepared statement. "The department will take appropriate administrative action based on the findings from the investigation."
