Are we going to be forced to sell guns to everbody

I tell my guys that we don't have to sell a firearm to anybody. If they feel something isn't right just refuse and get me involved. This has only happened a few times with straw purchases and a customer who has had a few drinks but that may change. After the pizza parlor and the cake baker being told they have to sell to everyone and now with the gun shop in Fla. saying no to Muslims are we going to be challenged by the Obama Justice Dept.? I know it sounds crazy but so do the pizza and cake. By the way, would you really want someone you just pissed off making you pizza or cake? Just saying.

Just keep on doing BAU and all will be well for U.
Gun control laws have been for of Democrats best Jim Crow Laws that are leagal.
Would I have a hundred percent certainty it was an honest sale to A Arab under the age of 35? Yeah I would have suspicions. I might even lay awake at night worrying I made a mistake if I sold it to such.
Race, gender, religion, ethnicity, age, national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity, marital status, or veteran status.
Don't think so? Better have an attorney specializing in discrimination laws on retainer.
If your refusal to sell guns is based on any of these classifications, you are in for trouble:
Race, gender, religion, ethnicity, age, national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity, marital status, or veteran status.

I never understood why anyone wouldn't sell to anybody based on the above criteria.
The line is drawn at preventing people from exercising their rights: The right to vote, the right keep and bear arms, the right to a speedy and fair trial, etc. Individual business owners preferences in customers cannot supersede someone's rights.
By the way; Race, gender, religion, ethnicity, age, national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity, marital status, or veteran status are the federal guidelines. Many state classes are not as far reaching. If you hold an FFL, you are bound by all federal guidelines...If you want to keep that magical piece of paper that allows you to be called a gun dealer.
They should be able to deal with whatever customer they choose. If they choose to be too stringent, it costs them money and sweat equity; it harms no one else.
I agree. Most small business owners have put everything they have into the business, including ridiculous hours and endless sweat and blood.

I agree with both you and Mark, however we now have to live with a justice system that is unpredictable and full of activists and for the most part sympathetic to plaintiffs.
All of other groups were recently added by Congress, the insidious nature of creeping socialism.
GCA68 would seem to preclude an FFL from selling a gun to a budding jihadi, so it would be easy to be in a position where you could be prosecuted no matter what you decide to do.
Anyone in retail must weigh ALL of his words carefully; you can never tell when your conversation is being recorded. The more uncomfortable the customer makes you feel, the more likely it is that his I-phone is set to "record".
