Pretty gutsy lady. The leftists are going to have uncontrolled spasms over this.

Do business owners have the right to run their businesses how they like as long as they are ethical in their practice? I would say yes. They have the right to open their business to whoever they like and discriminate against whoever they like. Jan Morgan has recently declared her gun range in Hot Springs, Arkansas, aptly titled The Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range, to be a "Muslim Free Zone."

People have argued over whether Ms. Morgan has this right. I would say that she most certainly does. It's her business and there are two things at work here. First, people will flock to her business that are pro-Second Amendment and who think the Muslim ideology is anti-American and anti-Christian (which it is both). Second, those that disagree with her position will make it known by not coming to her place of business. I'm all for that too.

People are free to make that decision, just as Morgan is free to make her business decision.

So what are Morgan's reasons for not allowing Muslims?

Not just the leftists will have a problem with that.

Yes, it is a private business and she can admit, or deny, anybody she wants.

BUT

She just made herself and her business a target.

(pun? what pun?)



That's fine as long as she has that right.

She has 'the right'.

However, the wisdom of exercising said right may be questionable at best.

Doc's got a point on both counts there...I will say this: wouldn't any of us like to be flies on the wall whenever her gunstore's business license comes up for renewal? :whistle::whistle:
 
My first reaction is "What a close minded red neck!" ...But then again it's her business, she can allow in whoever she wants. She could say "Everyone who uses the username 'Nebulous' on the internet is banned too!" and I couldn't do anything about it. :lol:
 
I just want people to have a right to run there business as they see fit. It may put some out of business but they should have that right. As for her decision a part of me says bravo because I am so sick of all aspects Islam causing death, destruction and fear on almost every continent across the planet like no other. But another half of me says even though I can't stand the religion not all are radicalized. Just not sure?

Yeah everyone should have the right to run their business into the ground by integrating their personal prejudices into their company, instead of being a professional business person.

Business is business, leave the personal nonsense at home, if you want to stay afloat that is... if not, I hope it you'll think it was worth it when you're at the unemployment office trying to get a hand out that could have been avoided. :P

That's what I was thinking, Nebulous...I mean, people should be able to run their businesses as they see fit, within the limits of the law. On the other hand, consumers also have the right to respond in kind by not frequenting said businesses... *looks over towards True Liberty* After all, isn't that how the free market's supposed to work?

Why do you assume that the business will go down the shitter just because a person won't cater to muslims? I could list dozens of people who would patronize ONLY that range just for that reason and I guarantee there are tens of thousands of other people who think the same way.

In general, probably not this particular business judging on where they happen to be located. I'm sure there isn't even a substantial Muslim population there so they're not really accomplishing anything, just reaching for attention. Looks like they got it, because it's made headlines and we're here talking about it right now.
 
Had someone actually done something wrong or harmful, which led to her decision not to cater to a specific and limited group of people, like supposed Muslim radicals who operate under the name of Islam, this might make a little more sense. But to scrutinize and punish everyone who either A) makes it apparent they are Muslim, or B) falls under the category of her assumption that they practice Islam is absolutely and undeniably prejudice on her part.

I don't agree with this one bit, but it is her prerogative and her business. If I was even remotely interested in patronizing a similar business, I would steer clear of this idiot out of protest of ignorance and religious bigotry. That's like saying I'm going to start a business that refuses to serve any Christian customer because of some small-minded assumption that all Christians are psycho nut jobs who believe in a sky god and a fluffy white cloud land they're all gonna go to as long as they beat down others who oppose their religion. You are going to get radicalism in ALL religions, but the majority of Muslims are peaceful and do not follow the ideals that these radicals operate under.

It's a shame that she can't see past her petty idea of who is worth of doing business with her, but like I said, more power to her. She can cater to people of the same ideals, and those of us who are not complete idiots can see through the insensitivity and create a better world for all people wise enough to know that just because a few rebels who get all the media attention does not mean everyone should be punished.
 
Prejudice is all fun and games till you get the short end of the prejudice stick and that is when it stops being praiseworthy. While they have a right to run their business as they see fit, I don't see this being that great of an idea. I get their problem with Muslims who use religion to justify abusing and killing others but what exactly is this but more of the same with the only difference being what is used to justify it all?

I'm not assuming anything, Smooth. What I'm saying is that, while she has the right to run her business as she sees fits w/in the limits of the law, the rest of us have the right to call her out on her views and use the free market against her...or does that only apply in one direction, Smooth?

Yes they should have that right. If they run it into the ground then that is her business. How people feel and the product she sells will determine her success. Everything is personal. Specially a privately run business.

In other words, millions of bitter clingers, right?

What an irrational bigot, though.

I agree, she should only ban an individual person who has broken her gun range rules & regulations. That would be the rational way to run a business.
