Vigilante Hick Shoots Himself While Guarding Gun Store from Muslims
An armed member of a volunteer group guarding an Oklahoma gun store that recently declared itself “Muslim-free” has accidentally shot himself, according to local media.
Authorities say a bullet struck the unidentified man in his arm after he dropped the weapon on Tuesday. He was among several armed residents in front of the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store in Oktaha, a town of 390 residents about 65 miles southeast of Tulsa. Pearson did not identify the man. “It’s like the Clampetts have come to town”, a reference to the television program The Beverly Hillbillies. One such shop in Florida made national news Monday when George Zimmerman, the man who shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin but was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in July 2013, announced he would raffle off prints of his painting of the Confederate flag to raise money for the store.
“They’re saying now it’s just [banning] someone who’s an extremist or terrorist”, Martin told the station. For reasons unclear, this type of idiot usually loves guns and, even more, loves telling everyone around them exactly how much they love guns (Get a room, dude!).
The store shut down for the rest of the day after the shooting, as Muslim protesters began to arrive to voice their opposition.
In an earlier Facebook post, the shop said it supported Jan Morgan, the owner of an Arkansas gun store and range that similarly sought to ban Muslims and was later monitored by the Justice Department for potential violations of federal law prohibiting such racial and religious discrimination.
“I just wanted to express my disapproval”, he said.
“I thought I would pull over at some point and sleep, but I didn’t”.

One such volunteer, who would only say his name was Eagle One and that he was from Oklahoma, said he has nothing against Muslims.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called the sign illegal, and compared it to “whites only” signs at businesses before the Civil Rights movement.
