Cowboy Won’t Teach Gun Safety to Muslims Because They All Want to Kill Him


Texas based country store owner and cardboard cutout Crockett Keller teaches concealed handgun safety classes to make a few extra bucks, which he spends on boots and hats and spurs and guns at his local CowboyMart. Like every discriminating businessman, he enforces some standards, which he thoughtfully informed the world about in a recent radio ad.

KVUE-TV transcribes the important parts of Keller's announcement, which you can listen to here or (if you'd like to post a comment that includes "semper fi" in it) here. Or you can just read the next paragraph (read it aloud, in your best "xenophobic twang"):

"If you are a socialist liberal and or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as under the law."

The ad continues, going on to say,"If you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class with no shame; I am Crockett Keller, thank you and God bless America."


In Keller's copy of the U.S. Constitution (which is printed with hickory-smoked barbecue sauce), it is illegal to disagree with Crockett Keller. He's pretty important! So much so, in fact, that all the Muslims want to take his fancy safety class specifically so they can murder him. This is the real reason why he won't teach them no lessons. "The fact is if you are a devout Muslim then you cannot be a true American," he tells KVUE. "Why should I arm these people to kill me, that's suicide." Even if it wasn't completely paranoid and wrong it still wouldn't make any sense, because don't the scary mooslems already know how to shoot off a gun? They just need to know how to turn it off so their terrorist anchor babies don't shoot the mailman or something, right? We don't know anything about guns or gun safety courses and should have asked Keller for a syllabus.

As you might expect, many people support Keller's positions on the issues and believe he's a true patriot who's speaking the truth and being honest and etc., insert your own flag-wrapped crazy crap here. But refusing to teach people based on religious grounds is just as against the law in Texas as supporting the democratically elected leader of the free world is against the law in Crockett Keller's world, so the Texas Department of Public Safety has opened an investigation into his statements and his education policies. What will happen if they force him to treat people fairly based on their religion? He'll stop teaching those lessons! And then probably run for office based on an anti-government platform.

1. Growing up in Colorado I learned something about cowboy hats
Wearing them makes white men stupid.

2. well, being an ugly cowboy hat wearing ugly person is punishment enough
Can you imagine the kind of life he has led. We should feel sorry for old Crockett. He's an idiot.

5. What's he gonna to do root out those "evil doers" who are looking to take his class?
Make them sign an oath? Ask them at the door?

Sounds like he's grandstanding to get more "nativeborns" to sign up for his classes.

10. Store is located in Mason Tx. We used to drive through there all the time
Nice little town, but there is nothing "there". I've always wondered how people existed out in the middle of nowhere. He's just past Fredricksburg Tx, and about 100 miles south of Rick Perry's home town. The next town up, Brady is interesting. All these little towns are 40 - 50 miles apart.

14. It's good to know that all freedom hasn't been destroyed.
In the USA you have the right to be 'privately' as fucking ignorantly bigoted as you want to be.

The civil rights laws say that you cannot discriminate if you are running a business. That's why 'sit ins' were important in the 60's. The law is often flaunted by ignorant bigots.

16. The county population is about 4000 and they are probably all already armed, so he is
trying to drum up business. I bet people drive from all over the state to get their training from this "MORAN".
