Texas gun instructor draws heat for anti-Muslim ad

MASON, Texas - On a YouTube clip that has gone viral, brash Texas handgun instructor Crockett Keller defiantly tells Muslims and non-Christian Arabs he won't teach them how to handle a firearm.

State officials see the ad as possible discrimination, and may revoke Keller's instructor license.

Tens of thousands of YouTube viewers have watched the $175 ad for Keller's business in the small community of Mason, which has won him a handful of admirers but that embarrassed locals say misrepresents their community. Muslim groups dismissed the 65-year-old as a bigot.

Among the couple of thousand residents in the Central Texas town, Keller has other reputations.

Nice of him to leave a phone number.

2. Sounds like he's invoking that "conciense clause" thingy
It's his right not to do anything against his deeply held beliefs, right? :shrug:
