Guard at 'Muslim-Free' Gun Range Accidentally Shoots Self
A man guarding a small-town Oklahoma gun range that declared itself a "Muslim-free" business dropped his gun and accidentally shot himself.
Authorities said a bullet struck the unidentified man in his arm after he dropped the weapon Tuesday. He was among several armed residents guarding the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store in Oktaha, a town of 390 about 65 miles southeast of Tulsa.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations says the Oklahoma business and ones in several other states have declared themselves "Muslim-free," and the organization has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate some for possible civil rights violations.
The armed locals said they began guarding the Oklahoma shop after owners claimed they received death threats over the sign. The owners didn't immediately return a message seeking comment about the alleged threats.
