A Texas handgun instructor is facing a state investigation after he ran a radio ad telling Muslims and non-Christian Arabs that he would not teach them how to handle a firearm.
Crockett Keller told Fox News he would not apologize for the ad – which ran on a country music station in Mason – about 100 miles west of Austin.
“I have no regrets,” he said. “I’m not a mean individual – not to say that occasionally I’ll get a little bit saucy or crude with my language.”
Nevertheless, he said he considers Muslims “our enemy” and he said they aren’t the only ones not welcomed at his handgun class.
“If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chef, please do not take this class,” he says in the ad that went viral on YouTube. “You’ve already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under law.”
Crockett ended his ad with an attack on Muslims.
“Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you this class,” he says. “Once again, with no shame, I am Crockett Keller.”
The Texas Dept. of Public Safety told Fox News that Keller is now the focus of an investigation into possible discrimination.
“The Department became aware of the statements in question and is conducting an investigation into the matter,” a spokesman wrote in a statement. “The investigation is ongoing. The Department will take appropriate administrative action based on the findings from the investigation.”
According to the Dept. of Public Safety, Keller’s instructor certification could be revoked or suspended.
Keller said he welcomed the investigation, but was alarmed that his certification is on the line.
“If I can’t exercise my First Amendment rights, then it’s a hell of a world we live in,” he said.
The Texas Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned Keller’s ad – calling it ugly rhetoric.
“We try not to give too much credibility to some of these people who do outlandish things,” spokesman Mustafaa Carroll told the Associated Press. “But there are some issues that we do have to address.”
Carroll said his organization would be watching for the outcome of the Dept. of Public Safety investigation before issuing further comments.
Keller said he’s been surprised by the outpouring of support he’s received – 30 to one – according to his calculations.
“It’s a good feeling,” Keller said. “Sometimes you think you’re all alone in the world especially when you make a statement that’s gone worldwide. I feel like I’m speaking for thousands – if not millions of Americans out there.”
And what if Keller’s comments offended non-Americans?
“If they’re not Americans, I don’t care,” he said.

GO KELLER!
Maybe if the flight schools had not trained "Terrorist Muslims" (gotta say terrorist) how to fly planes, The Twin Towers would still be standing and 3K+ people would still be alive….
John, are you Mad?!
Steve Smith When my people (Americans) die, I'm sad. When our President bows to another country and apologizes for anything, Yes, my friend, I get very mad. GOD BLESS AMERICA~!
John Hatter : John, it was a joke–your name and your avatar. Didn't mean to get you mad
Steve Smith I knew that, but it gave me the opportunity to express more of my feelings about the subject at hand….God Bless you and your loved one's, Steve. Sincerely, Art Copeland.

Free speech baby! Exercise it!
Update: TX will not sue or take away his license!!!
Way to go Keller…..NEVER train the enemy! Besides, it's hard to hit a straight shot through a burqa!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Linda, you're retarded…. Muslims are not your enemy. Just because small groups of people who do terrible things have the same religion does not make the entire category your enemy….. It is thinking like that, which has thousands of your sons and daughters coming home in bodybags… If you were more of a citizen of the world and less of a greedy, self absorbed American, you might see this… Oh wait, did I generalize just like you??? You're right, it does feel good to make blanket generalizations and hate on groups of people
She is what's wrong with the world.
Mick Svendson You are from Vancouver so you worry about your land and I will worry about mine. And if you're American – think what you want and I will think what I want (FREEDOM OF SPEECH). When they denounce the killings of Americans, stop killing Americans in the name of Allah (while no muslims publicly denounce it), and quit trying to implement Sharia in America I might, just might believe what you're saying. So far…..NOT!!
Linda Moore Masci
You're still retarded…. Plenty of Muslims, Muslim groups, and Muslim countries have denounced the killing of people in the name of their religion, regardless of citizenship. You're agreeing with something equally as unconstitutional in wanting to deny Americans who happen to be muslims, just because they are muslims.
Not to mention that no one is trying to enforce Shira Law in America. Just because small groups of assholes with destructive intensions (I don't disagree a small number are the "enemy"), does not make it right to make racist comments to entire group of people (your burka and enemy comments) That is so backward and ignorant it makes my head spin!
Your racist and bigoted views and those held by other Americans are the reason why there is such strong feelings of hatred for America. You claim persecutions from entire religious group somehow, yet it is the same things the USA has done to these same "enemies", yet have your head so far up your own ass that you fail to see it. Hence why the country is in what will be an unrecoverable tailspin…
Like I said, Mr "name-caller"! You worry about your land and I will worry about mine. It's clear you have NO CLUE what is going on in America!
It is also clear that you are a racsit bigot… And yes it is very clear to the entire world that America is fucked.
Christ won't save you on this one either! FYI
Whatever Mr. Un-American!
Actually my view point is very American… I believe in freedom and justice for all. I believe in peoples rights under the constitution… What I don't believe in is the denial to these rights based on religion beliefs or persecution of people on religious grounds…. It seems you are the one who is "Un-American"… You don't even know what that means..
Mick Svendson YES they are…their religion tells them to" smite the infidels on their necks and to KILL the JEWS where you find them." SOUNDS LIKE AN ENEMY TO ME!!!
Because Muslims are smiting infidels on their necks nation wide!!!! The irony here is that your retoric is the exact same as your supposed "enemy"… So you might as well kill them first and take the oil, right??
Linda Moore Masci Honestly, you don't even deserve an intelligent response. You should be thankful for that free speech, because that same amendment created the establishment clause, which allows the freedom of choice in religion and expression. You assuming that all muslims and people of middle eastern descent are terrorists is the reason the international community and those with modicums of intelligence in this country is ashamed of most of it.
Nancy Gayle Warren What is your religious belief, if you don't mind me asking?
Deuteronomy 17:2-7 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
The exact same rhetoric, and don't use the cop out of "Jesus abolished the old law."
Matthew 5: 18-19 Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.
It's absolutely ridiculous when people only look at the barbarism of one religion
Mick Svendson Show me how you can tell the good from the bad, the truth from a lie and then I might agree who is not trying to kill us.
What the heck, how did my other post get deleted? Well anyways I agree with Mick, there are passages in the bible that state one should kill non-believers. A radical of any religion (or political view or any view) could have committed a terrorist act, and the profiling because of one attack is ridiculous.
These guys were radical christians, i don't see anyone up in arms calling christians the enemy: December 25, 1984: An abortion clinic and two physicians' offices in Pensacola, Florida were bombed in the early morning of Christmas Day by a quartet of young people (Matt Goldsby, Jimmy Simmons, Kathy Simmons, Kaye Wiggins) who later called the bombings "a gift to Jesus on his birthday."

BBC… a real news source
Obviously my posts are being deleted or my internet is screwing up, but point is that radical muslims aren't the only individuals who commit acts of violence. There are passages in the bible that say to kill non-believers, and I can give examples of a few terrorist acts by radical christians. I am not defending the actions of either radicals, but simply stating that every group is equally capable of having radicals, and the profiling as a result is absolutely ridiculous.
Mel Cottrell,
The arguement you're trying to present is flawed in that you are still trying to make assumptions about groups of people based on a certain criteria, instead of looking at things on a case by case basis. Before I go further I will say, that to know any of those things above, yes, it is near (if not entirely) impossible to know for sure. This is why we have Security checks at airports and federal intelligence collection agencies to try and stem bad things from happening, as examples.
However, to make blanket statements about a group of people based on a small number's actions and beliefs is wrong…. If we do this then we have to make other blanket statements and stereotypes. For example, Timothy McVeigh was a white, male, American and I believe he tried to kill plenty of you? Or George W. Bush lied to us all about the situation in Iraq and thousands of Americans paid with their lives… Should he be killed? Should all republican, white, christian males be tried for the murder of these soldiers? Or never be allowed to hold public office again? Perhaps all Christans should be attacked for centuries of killings against other faiths of cultures or the pedophilia that seems rampant these days? They must all be pedophiles right?
Obviously what I said there is completely insane, yes (I think so)?? Well that is the exact same as the generalizing against muslims that is happening in this article and in this forum….
Noah Orris Radical Islam is NOT a religion! Prove to me otherwise and I might listen.
@….Mick Svendson……
Linda has a good head on her sholders. You on the other hand have the IQ of a turnup.
How is it not a religion? Yes, they are taking passages of the koran and using them in the worst way possible, but they are strictly and radically following those teachings. Radical islam is pretty self descriptive, the religion of islam followed with a radical stance.
Mel Cottrell,
I'm guessing some sort of God, who is at odds with Islam tells you all these things? Your logic is extremely flawed sir.
For it to be legitimate you will need to make blanket statements about any and all things as well. For example, we should not allow gun training for any white, male americans really, since the likes of Timothy McVeigh, a terrorist, tried to kill a whole bunch of you, yes? Or perhaps we should bar white, male, christian, repulicans from holding public office, as Bush lied to us about Iraq and in turn thousands of Americans have paid with their lives.
It is my feel that the American ignorance of thinking like this is far more dangerous than the relatively small number of fundementalist assholes from one religion or another who aim to do harm. Once again producing the vicious cycle of hate you claim to be against, yet you support when it is against your muslim "enemies"…..
So to have a good head on your shoulders these days means to be a xenophobe who generalizes a whole group of people for the actions of two radicals from that group? I don't think so.
Anyone who agrees with Keller has the IQ of a turnip.
It seems the fine folks at Fox are censoring me by deleting my comments. If you can't win, I guess you just ignore… I hope you all enjoy continuing to grow radical muslims, since you created them with your imperialism…. All empires fall.
Noah Orris Two radicals? LOL!!! Where have you been??? Take your blinders off! Turnips live peacefully.
I was referring only to 9/11. I hate when you idiots go "LOL" "IDIOT", etc. when someone with twice your IQ messes up one statement. Of course there were other radical muslims behind other terrorist attacks, which I have not addressed, I could if you like, but if so, I will also give you a list of radical christians that have attacked abortion clinics, to show that this is simple prejudice and no ideology is above having its radicals.
Noah Orris Always "name calling". You lose all credibility with anything you say when you name call. Also shows your age/maturity level.
"Whatever Mr. Un-American!" Also clearly shows yours, as well as that fact that you're currently being a hypocrite.
Noah Orris NOT…..he's from Canada. He was trying to imply he was American which he is not. He knows what I was saying and that's why he removed his place of residence. Besides, that wasn't a conversation b/een you and I.
Despite that fact it was still name calling. And he at no point said he was American, only that his viewpoints were similar to those of an American.
Noah Orris That's b/c 2 of his posts have been removed for curse words and you came in on the conversation after the fact. That's why you should stick to the conversation b/een you and I b/c you don't know what you're talking about.
I might have known that if the moderators didn't censor everything that strongly opposes their viewpoints.
Anyway, I'm done w/this conversation. You guys can argue amongst yourself. I only respond to people who talk under my comments. Have a good evening. I've got a life to live.
When I tried to I had my posts deleted because the moderators don't like it when I talk about how there are other radical views besides islam. Good, I'm off to go be fair and balanced to everyone, unlike Keller and this news source.
We have lots of "Terrorist Muslims" no need to add to the ranks of a growing concern to all.
you got that right. why train someone to shoot you in the back.
I'm trying to figure out if the morons who would attack his certification for being blunt about his intentions would prosecute him if he taught someone who went on to commit some horrific act. I'm guessing they want him to exercise discernment and judgement in who he teaches, as long as it's politically correct.
muslims don't use guns they use bombs,
but regardless he has every right to refuse to train anyone its his business he can refuse service to who ever he pleases.
Fort hood, tx. Shootings.
I think the DPS need's to leave Keller alone!
God Bless America!
The new poster boy for abject stupidity.
That's RIGHT! If you are NOT —An American, I don't care,—EITHER"! Also , I REFUSE TO TALK TO MUSLIMS! So U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICALS——-SUE ME! I DARE YOU!

Dude, Honestly? I sometimes wonder, how racist, how unintelligent some Americans are. Some terrorists who happened to also be muslim killed 3k people, and it was very devastating. However, just because there is a ton of fundamentalists around, doesn't mean every muslim is stupid head, or is planning to bomb your house. In 1600s beloved CHRISTIANS burned women claiming them as witches… does that give everyone a right to stop speaking to any christian (which would be weird)? I think not. So please, just because some fluke killed so many people, do not brand every muslim as a savage. If you do, you are a moron. Remember, if no one is guilty until proven in court, no one is guilty if they haven't committed any crime.
Mike Robertson One big difference is that by killing non-Muslims Muslims are simply following the teachings of Mohammad and their Qur'an. The "Christians" who killed those women (or anyone else in the name of religion) were NOT following the teachings of Jesus and therefor NOT true Christians.
Connie L. Hedges I don't think majority of moderate people believe they followed the teachings. These guys claim they are following the teachings of Muhammed just like those Christians did. Just to remind you, Church itself was very involved in burning women… so let's not use that excuse. These guys are killing people because they are fanatics who have no morality. Not because they are muslim. Every maniac can use religion for his/her cause, doesn't matter Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, or Atheist. In the end, the individual is responsible. Not their religion. I have muslim friends who actively are opposed to what these guys did and do, and I think it's unacceptable to brand them in the same category as these terrorists. BTW, a lot of INNOCENT MUSLIMS died in those attacks. Let's not forget them.
Connie L. Hedges Exodus 22:18: "You shall not allow a witch to live." (King James version). But I suppose you'll cop out by saying this isn't the New Testament so it doesn't count or something along those lines.
Mike Robertson How many innocent muslims??? TWO! And according to their koran they get to go to that sexual paradise of moohammed becaue they were killed for the CAUSE of the UMMA …… THAT being the WORLDWIDE CAUSE OF ISLAM TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!
You KNOW nothing of that VIOLENT HATEFUL so-called religion. Just today in EGYPT the main man of their religion called all Christians there INFIDELS which means KILLING CHRISTIANS if AOK with their leaders! No punishment for killing CHRISTIANS…none!!!
Nancy Gayle Warren That is simply wrong. It is immoral to kill anyone… christian, muslim or atheist in that religion. I know this because I have close muslim friends. You need to talk to some moderate muslims not just a minority few who are fanatics. Moderate muslims are regular people. Fanatics aren't. And fanatics are not just muslim. Even the Christians have them too. Please read my commentary on the 1600s Christianity and murder of innocent women branded as witches. Also, remember the death of countless many innocents including Joan of Arc (the Saint who was murdered by the church). To say this again, Religion is not responsible for what people do; People are. If someone believes in Muhammad or God, you can't criminalize them until they commit an actual crime. It is their right to have a religion of their chosing, it's part of U.S. constitution just like the first amendment. If you think that every muslim is an Infidel because you think they want to kill everyone else to promote their cause, but you have no proof, then you are not better yourself mamme.
Thank you Mike. I am glad there are some rational people here. I am an American and Muslim and these bigots do not speak for me.
Mike Robertson – every religion may use their religion as an excuse…but not every religion's writings from their prophet DEMAND that infidels and unbelievers be killed. Muhammed did just that. People who claim that they do not follow those teachings of Muhammed…must not be true Muslims….because their "bible" the Koran…demands that they kill Christians and Jews…so educated yourself a bit about their true religion…as well as their History. Our forfathers were hero's for keeping the Muslims out of Europe….now they are taking over Europe again….this time not by the sword…but by political correctness…and idiots in the name of Non Discrimination are welcoming them with open arms…In doing so…the liberals and left are bringing about their own demise and the end of all their freedom to be liberal…they just are not bright enough to realize it yet.
Karen Beth Volpitta: Have you actually read the Koran Karen or are you basing your allegations on hear-say and Christian propaganda? The last time I read it there was widespread concern to show respect for "people of the book" — that is, the people who follow the same God (i.e Christians and Jews). Are you confusing the religion of Islam with Islamic religious fanatics who give their religion a bad name? That's like saying a good example of what it is to be a good Christian is to look at the deeds of the Crusaders, maybe Richard the Lionheart.
Steve Smith – Yes I have actually read it…have you? 2.[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
3.[4.91] You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given.you a clear authority.
4.56] (As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
All from the Book of Women….
This is just a small…small portion…take time to really read it…..and really look at History too. Since muhammad himself was a murderer of Christians and Jews…as well as a pedifile…why should the book he writes or those that follow it be any different…if their love and respect…goes to such a man…then they themselves are evil. As for the Crusades…that was a war brought on by the Muslems…because they were invading lands that did not belong to them. Crusades were a result of the Islamic invasion of Gau and the Turks destruction of the Byzantine empire (Formerly the Helenistic Macedonian Empire…never an Arab or Muslim territory)l. Thank God for men like Charles Martel…otherwise all of Europe would be Muslim. Thank God for Richard the Lionheart…who at least managed to regain the rights of Christians to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem. If the Muslims had not tried to take over the world…and had not been the religion of the sword…there would not have been a need for Crusaders. You can bash the Crusaders for their wars…but YOU really should be thanking them for your freedom. They are Western Cultures HEROs…they are Christianity's HEROS….they found dirty and bloody and cruel…but they were facing a dirty, evil, bloody and cruel enemy…and they understood the need to win at all cost!!!! Something we have lost sight of and that is why we are being slowly destroyed as a culture and a people…we have allowed the invasion with open arms.
Karen Beth Volpitta : Yes but I'm still not seeing the word "Christians" in those quotes and (for example) "They desire that you should disbelieve…" but that would EXCLUDE Christians since Muslims and Christians believe in the same god (as do the Jews). As for the Crusades…that was a war brought on by the Muslems…because they were invading lands that did not belong to them. " — Hmmmmm. Jews and any remaining Christians had been expelled from Jerusalem (the target of the First Crusade) for over 1,000 years. Christian pilgrims were granted free and safe access to their holy sites under the Muslim rulers. Just how were Muslims "invading lands that did not belong to them." (Indeed, the Byzantine rulers despised the crusaders that arrived to "help" them). The purpose of the Crusades were essentially a series of religious wars, blessed by the Pope and the Catholic Church with the main goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in Jerusalem. BUT THEY ALREADY HAD THAT ACCESS. When the First Crusade conquered Jerusalem they massacred the population (Muslims and Jews) until the "streets ran ankle-deep in blood." Richard, cut off all the heads of the Muslims at Acra during the Third Crusade–one head each day. A great inspiration and role model.
Keep on Keeping on Keller!
Hmm, so let me get this clear. This man is running a business where only White Christian Conservatives who agree with his politics are allowed service, and Fox viewers thinks he's some kind of hero?
The same Fox viewers who lose their minds and call it a war if Christmas isn't imposed everywhere and whine like babies when a business so much as says "happy holidays" like if they're being discriminated against are now cheering on a business that will only give service to White Christians with conservative views?
If ya interested, y'all want to know some other great organizations that are hostile towards "socialist liberal [who] voted for the current campaigner-in-chef" and non-Christian Arab or Muslims and are openly exclusive only to Christians with right wing political views? Stormfront, the Ku Klux Klan, The Tea Par…..well, let's not go there lol, but by all means Fox viewers go show them the same support you show this fool.
I hope his ass loses that certification.
He is running a private business. If you agree or disagree with his way of doing business then it's your choice whether or not to do business with him…free enterprise.
seriously?
Funny, that's not how discrimination law statutes see it…
Noel Purcell – Explain that to the families of the victims from terrorist atacks! If only the airline school had "discriminated" against the men who hijacked the 9/11 airplanes…we wouldn't be having this discussion…
Elizabeth Mitilineos StVincent,
If only we never had religion, then we wouldn't be having this discussion either…… Funny how that works, ain't it?
Elizabeth Mitilineos StVincent I AM the family and friends of victims from the attack, so I think I would know, and I don't have a problem with it, seeing as how racial profiling certainly isn't helping America. Your ignorance is disturbing.
I totally agree Mick, and although I am not closely related to any of the victims (fourth cousins, so basically no relation), I do not think that their loved ones would encourage blatant racial discrimination because of the actions of two radical terrorists.
Mick Svendson – it would just be something else…religion doesn't make men evil…it just shows us who is evil.
Good For You! I'm glad there are still Americans who call it like it is!
HELL YES! I AGREE COMPLETELY MR KELLER!
Rock on Brother!
Bravo Keller!
Bravo!
Hey what about free speech? I tell people up here in the foothills where I live that I am a racist. Just strongly dislike camel jockys and wetbacks. Got nothing against Mexican Americans but really hate wetbacks. I really don't dislike those in the country legally. But think there should be a bounty on wetbacks like there is or used to be on coyotes. Just my opinon and I am entitled to it just like Keller.

Hey Hahaj…. who was making them mad enough to become terrorists before Crockett Keller came along? Take your sympathy and stick it up your ass.
Freedom of speech is our constitutional right…and we don't need it to protect private speech…it is to protect our public speech…and to protect it from Big Government shutting Americans up.
Given where Crockett lives (NE TX), his xenophobia is harmless.
Interesting how liberals are always the first to stand in line to defend "Muslim Rights". I wasn't aware being a religion that stones women, hangs gays, honors a pedophile would be so honorable. Ya'know..Liberals? The ones that taut the golden scepter of equality for women, gays, children? Yeah..that's them…
Except that Christianity and Islam are the same religion with different characters, and that the God you believe in is one of the most disgusting characters in all of fiction. To quote Dawkins: "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
Noel Purcell I am not a Xtian and never claimed to be one. Can't you read? OH YEAH! Thats right I forgot! They don't teach reading and writing in Penn State anymore. They teach gay sex and global warming. At least now I know why you still live with your parents and why US Corporations are eager to hire from overseas……
Dickhead…
RJ Madison That's a pretty big judgment for an ignorant neo-con. With all due respect, I'm a Mensa member and I have fourteen internships on the table. And I'm a college freshman, so living with my parents is a factor of age. Somehow your classification of liberals is a bit off. Gee, I wonder how. "They teach gay sex and global warming" is just, honestly, one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. We have a very gay-friendly campus and we teach global climate change because it is a scientific fact, yes. I'm trying to approach you rationally, but honestly, you're a fucking moron.
And also, Judaism is included in there as well. The whole point of the religious comparison is that it's not just defending Islam, it's defending the right of all to practice (or not practice) and not be judged, prick.
Yeah..too bad we own everything…sucks huh?
Now run along, get back in your tent on Wall Street and play x-box..
Except for the part where I could buy and sell your entire life fifteen times over, and some of the richest men ever to live are staunch liberals. Sucks to be wrong, huh? Now you get back in your tent outside the Fox News headquarters and jerk off to a thesis on Reaganomics.

It's amazing how stupidly intolerant everyone on this page is. If you read news sources outside of faux news you will see that people willing to defend the rights of muslims are willing to defend the rights of any people whose rights are being infringed upon. This is not the 1800's, people in the LGBT community and women have equal rights, and whatever you want to hide behind to be prejudiced against those groups i have no control over, but it's insanely bigoted. I am studying engineering and it is a very hard and very serious major, and Penn State provides some of the highest quality education in the country, along with the number one location for business recruitment straight out of college. Before you are so immature and insulting, outgrow your own prejudices.

I'm sorry, but did the chemicals in the vaseline from all that activity with your boyfriend affect your memory? Your state can't even build a highway without giving a Chinese official a rim job. Not to mention since I don't look like you, I don't need to jerk off. But hey, theres good news for you! Maybe China makes blow up dolls!

Are you going to make an actual point at some point, or are you going to continue with ad hominem attacks that a) make absolutely no sense, b) are not insulting, and c) are just general idiotic homophobia? Because honestly you have contributed nothing of value to this conversation except for making me sad at just how disgustingly ignorant people in this country can be.

RJ Madison Also, vaseline is not an effective sexual lubricant, a water-based lubricant or KY-style jelly is far more effective. Bend over and I'll show you ;*

There's a great quote by Aesop Rock that goes "I'm not an asshole, I'm just a little confused."
You sir, are simply an asshole.

And hey, I'm straight, but I'd rather be able to get a good-looking gay dude than whatever that thing on your arm is, buccaroo.

Oh I think you already did. In fact your buddy Noah tested negative on the pregnancy test. Hopefully you can get duddy to help you pay child support!

Why would he help pay child support if his pregnancy test is negative? And even if it was positive, and even if men could get pregnant, and even if you WEREN'T an idiotic racist homophobe going on some BS ad hominem diatribe, an abortion solves all of that rather quickly.

I wonder how RJ Madison's girlfriend is in bed. Probably just like his insults, stale, bland, and blatantly pathetic.

Congratulations, RJ Madison , for conceiving an insult I couldn't have thought up until i was five years old. If the movie idiocracy becomes a reality, I will credit it's entire realization to you.

RJ Madison If you were ever going to stand for President, I'd vote for you if I was an American. Such profound, hard-hitting and accurate observations. I'm totally awed dude.
Noel Purcell OH brother are YOU WRONG!! CHRIST never ever said to KILL anybody!!!!!!!! moohammed COMMANDS his zommie followers to KILL INFIDELS and JEWS!! IT IS IN HIS BOOK! READ the disgusting commands to violence against homosexuals, women, the advocation of child rape, cutting epople up for theft, beating them for playing music….. that book is so full of HATEFULVIOLENT things. YUKKY stuff that book!
Nancy Gayle Warren Have you read the Koran? Or is what you say just based on hear say or whatever someone has told you?
Why should the Heretics in the good O'L USA have a beef? This man says what we ALL think! We MUST hold very tightly to the precepts of truth! Not long ago, we would laugh these ideas out of our " ESTABLISHMENT's corny, puny minds!
I agree , as a certified firearms instructor , I teach those people that I think are competent and legal , but reserve the right to train only those that I choose to.
Yes, but basing who you deem competent solely on their ethnicity is morally wrong.
Peter Sandstrom NO, this is not morally wrong. He is standing up for his moral and constitutional right to teach whomever he wants to teach.
Peter: So is killing innocent men, women and children.
Peter Sandstrom: What happened to my right to like or dislike whom I want AND be able to voice those opinions? That includes my extreme disdain and dislike for that illegal kenyan immigrant who is living in my White House.
Peter Sandstrom "Muslim" is not an ethnicity (although non christian arab is a little closer to one) Islam is a religion. Those who practice it do so by choice (insert here, a comment by a well-meaner who will say some have no choice which, ironically will support Kellers position). I have read the Koran, the Ahaddith and the Sunna and can tell you with certainty that that particular religion is fueled by hatred for anyone other than the practitioners of it.
John W. Harrington I understand your concern. But remember, every new child born into a muslim family is a muslim by default. So it is very integrated into the culture. A person cannot be guilty as charged just because they are muslim. We should really look into the actions of the individual not their religion.
Mike Doc Willey You have a right to like and dislike whoever you want AND you can voice those opinions, but in this case, it is discrimination under the law, and is just disgusting. Then again, you're a birther, so I really shouldn't argue with you, because you obviously have no sense in your perverted little head.
Mike Doc Willey I'm not saying you cannot do that, you are willing to do that so long as it bridges on the edge of simple intolerance, but once you turn to harrasment, you are in violation of race and color discrimination laws, (http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/race_color.cfm), at least if you are discriminating your customers. These laws have been confirmed by the supreme court, and up held by the vast majority of intelligent human beings as a working and well meaning model to up hold equality.
Carl Klem Carl, by using this statement you make it seem as if we are selling gun licsences to babies. However, taken that that would be completely ridiculous, i can only but assume that you are referring to abortion. Whether you like it or not, your opinion on this matter directly contradicts your opinions on big government. It is a women's right to choose wheter or not she wants to put herself through, at least in the early stages of a fetuses development, incredible pain, suffering, and emotional toil all to give birth to a child. Abortion laws would obviously have to be government enforced, and as we all know, it is a core conservative idea that government should stay out of peoples personal lives.
Mike Robertson – the problem is…just like you have stated…they have not individually by default…you can not judge the actions of an individual…when they are so intergrated into that culture. Your very argument speaks to the nature of the problem…and shows that those charged with making such judgements can not easily and safely do so based on the individual…but on the culture they are so ingrained in.
Karen, based on your argument we can assume that all Christian fundamentalists are terrorists too. There has been, in the past few years a number of attacks by christians. Now, you know just as well as i, that that is not true, but i ask you to realize that just because a few people that so happened to practice Islam attacked people does not mean that 1.5 billion people are now all terrible people.
Semper Fi Keller….If the Texas Gov. Pulls your license and it got as much attention as this has, I'd think Texas would be spitting crow feathers. You can say what ever your little ol' heart desires to say and it's no ones bussiness. If you pissed off a few diapers heads or liberals, who gives a shit! I am personally exceptionally proud of you for stepping out side the pridesposed proscribed pratical doctrine of Politically Correct. More people need to stand up and exercise their rights. If Leaders or law enforcement have an issue with ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTION, then we simply fire their asses and replace them!
God Speed!
Keller for President.
He don`t teach Donkeys and mules but you don`t hear them complaining. What the matter with these people. this is the U S A and he can teach who ever he wants to. The others can scoot on somewhere els e and quite whining. The OTHERS are just going to have to live with the fact SOME OF US JUST DON`T COTTON TO THEM AND THEIR WAYS.
I am pretty sure that after reading through 90% of the comments my intelligence quotient just dropped several points. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Good bye then… we will not miss ya!!
After losing a few IQ points I'm feeling more at home. Now my tolerance just needs to fail like sarah palin's bid for vice president and I'll be right at home here.
We need more people like Mr Keller. Being politically correct is a bunch of b.s. I wish there were more Keller kind of guys in California. One of the most liberal states in America. On a different subject. The Federal govt. is suing states like South Carolina, Alabama, and Arizona over enforcing immigration laws… I guess that's a que for terrorists and illegals to cross the boarders because the federal government won't let the laws be enforced. FAIL OBAMA!
at peter sandstrom its not bias against ethnicity its against religion and as a fire arms instructor he reserves the right to not train any certain group as he sees fit. in my opinion he has done nothin wrong and I applaud Mr. Keller.
his right good for him
Actually, he stats that he considers Muslims Americas enemy, to be Muslim is considered ethnicity.
any one who considers the belief in islam to be an ethnicity is ignorant considering that muslims are from all different ethnicities and not just one
Way to go Mr. Keller! Thank you for taking a stand and keep up the good work! You and your willingness to exercise your freedom of speech is what makes being an American GREAT!
Good for him. Its about time Americans pushed back. For too long, we Americans have struggled to be seen as kind and compassionate. For our efforts, others have tried to destroy our country. Its time for them to see the other face of America, the BRING IT ON face. PC can see good in every despot and lash out at America. We are on the right track at last. Keep the faith and the conversation going.
Mr. Keller is entitled to his opinion and free to speak his mind. As a private business owner he can choose who he serves or doesn't serve. However, if he is licensed through the state, he is obligated to practice his business in accordance with requirements associated with that licensing. Somehow I suspect denying services to groups or individuals based on religion, political affiliation or ethnicity is in conflict with those requirements.
Mr. Keller could work for me any day… Finally someone saying what others are thinking.
“If they’re not Americans, I don’t care,” he said.
I'm so glad I'm not the only American to think this. Why do we insist on giving American rights and privileges to people who AREN'T American citizens? If they don't like our rules and what we have to say, they are more than welcome to go back to their shit-hole country and enjoy the rights they no longer have.
Although I get the sentiment, he could've been a little more subtle.

Why so much hate on this blog? This instructor is anti-American if he's unwilling to serve others based on their religion. I have Muslim friends and they're some of the most intelligent and patriotic people I know. Loyal too! Quit judging an ENTIRE religion based on the actions of a few radicals.
Kudos for Mr Keller, this PC BS investigation is nothing but Muslim butt kissing on the part of the State of Texas plain and simple. Now on to the Liberals here who are crying and whining because of Mr Keller actions and speech. Where were you hypocrites with your comments and condemnation when the story on Fast and Furious broke, when the ATF and the DoJ broke the laws of this nation with full knowledge and approval of Obama and his crew of Nitwits in DC. The point is training a Muslim to use a firearm is as dumb as giving the drug cartels more weapons, and you Liberal idiots are doing both.
