Oktaha gun store declared a Muslim free zone

Owner says business has increased

The owner of an Oktaha gun range is proclaims his business is Muslim-free.

Iraq war veteran Chad Neal owns Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear.

He says the July shooting at a Tennessee military recruiting center, convinced him to hang a sign that reads, "This privately owned business is a Muslim free establishment. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Neal credits the sign for an increase in business.

Neal notes there is a military recruiting center in nearby Muskogee, and he thought this might help protect local soldiers.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations tracks businesses that ban Muslims.  It is calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.
