While most people are afraid of incurring the wrath of radical Muslims, one Florida gun store owner is deliberately making international headlines by provoking them. In July he declared his store a "Muslim free zone." Now he is selling a product meant to stir things up even more.
Following the terrorist attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee where five service members were gunned down, Andy Hallinan of Florida Gun Supply offered a free car wash, beer, and $25 off any gun purchased online with the coupon code "Muslim."

"At the end of the day, I am compelled to stand up for what I believe in. And I believe Islam is evil at its core," Hallinan said in a September MSNBC interview. "I don't believe that every Muslim is evil at their core," he clarified, "but I do believe that the extreme political correctness in the U.S. leads to loss of life. And that's why I have promotions like these designed to combat that kind of political correctness."

Now he's taking another step. For $24.99, Hallinan is offering a take-home versions of his "Muslim Free Zone" idea by selling small red signs in the shape of a stop sign saying "Warning: This home is a Muslim Free Zone."
"What these signs are meant to do is if you see something say something. It's definitely something humorous. And we don't in any way think every Muslim is bad," said Hallinan.

Hallinan said he just started offering the sign, and so far has only sold a handful.
Last month, a lawsuit filed by a Muslim activist organization against Hallinan has been dismissed and the case ordered closed because the statement was protected by the First Amendment and the activists couldn't show they were injured.
The decision was released by U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in a case brought by a local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations against Florida Gun Supply, which was defended by officials with the American Freedom Law Center.
AFLC Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi said, "This dismissal was yet another AFLC victory against CAIR and its jihadi lawfare against patriotic Americans across the country. This victory follows on the heels of a recent victory against CAIR in a Michigan federal court where CAIR's subpoenas were quashed and CAIR's nefarious client sanctioned for abusive practices."

He continued, "CAIR was born from a jihadi terrorist conspiracy, and it has done little to distance itself from those bona fides. CAIR is on notice: if you attempt to use the courts to conduct your civilizational jihad, AFLC will be there to defend law-abiding, patriotic Americans and our nation's national security. We will match and defeat your civilization jihad with our constitutional lawfare in every courtroom across the nation."
Hallinan is not the only one offering protests. Anonymous street artist SABO has posted several "Jihad free zone" signs across southern California, including including in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Culver City, near the campus of UCLA and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
“If you truly love your family, your friends, your co-workers, yourself, you will make your area a 'safe space' from Islamic terrorism by getting one of these signs,” the artist writes.
He observes the design is "officially" his fastest-censored design to date.

"Santa Monica, LACMA and Beverly Hills have declined my services by ripping down my 'safe zone' posters," he notes.
Personal "Jihad Free Zone" signs are available on the artist's website, Unsavory Agents.
Buyers can enter whatever "zone" they'd like to be declared "jihad free" and the artist will create a custom-made creation.
