Former Texas A&M student bans Muslims from her Arkansas gun range

In what is either a marketing ploy targeting hard-line conservatives or just a case of a local business owner standing up for her beliefs, Jan Morgan, a gun range owner in Hot Springs, Arkansas, has ignited social media with her announcement declaring her business a "Muslim Free Zone."

Morgan, who said she was instituting the ban in the name of public safety, studied political science and mass communication at Texas A&M, according to her Facebook page.

Morgan cited Muslim involvement in the 2009 Nidal Hasan Fort Hood shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, and even 9/11 as reasons for her concern, according to the Arkansas Times.

"This is more than enough loss of life on my home soil at the hands of Muslims to substantiate my position that Muslims can and will follow the directives in their Koran and kill here at home," Morgan wrote, according to the Arkansas Times.
