Texas Allows Gun Safety Instructor To Continue After Non-Discrimination Pledge

The Syracuse Post-Standard reported yesterday that the Texas Department of Public Safety will not revoke the certification of gun instructor Crockett Keller as a qualified hand gun instructor now that Keller has agreed not to discriminate in the future. Keller offers certified courses for individuals applying for a license to carry a concealed handgun.  Keller became the center of controversy after he included as part of a radio commercial for his gun safety class a disclaimer that said:
If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chief, please do not take this class. You’ve already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under the law. Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class. Once again, with no shame, I am Crockett Keller.
