Florida’s ‘Muslim-Free Zone’ Gun Store Offers 9/11-Themed Coupon Code

Florida Gun Supply, whose owner, Andrew Hallinan made headlines back in July for declaring his store a “Muslim-free zone” in a viral video, decided to turn it up to 9/11 on Wednesday.

In a tweet accompanied by an oft-used image of the American flag, the famous “never forget” phrase, and the Sept. 11, 2001 date, the Florida gun store offered customers access to a new coupon code that would knock “$25 off any gun.” The code?

It’s 9/11 week. Use coupon code “muslim” at our site for $25 off any gun. Come in Fri for a free car wash and beer! pic.twitter.com/x1sTZPFk0V

Needless to say, the internet is none too happy with Hallinan’s stores particular use of both Sept. 11 and anti-Muslim hysteria for financial purposes. Not so much because it’s bad business, per se, but because it’s just plain disgusting. One exchange in particular pretty much spells everything out:

@FLGunSupply disgusting

@FLGunSupply your tweet was disgusting?

— rey (@reyhanhxssan) September 11, 2015

@FLGunSupply the one I clearly replied to

Then again, this is the same store that teamed up with George Zimmerman, who fancies himself a painter of Confederate flags these days.
