Turns out a man guarding a store from Muslims should have been more worried about Islamophobic Americans, namely himself.

Police say an Oklahoma man was guarding a gun store from Muslims when the man dropped the gun and it went off, shooting him in the arm, News On 6 reports.

The store has a sign that reads: “This privately owned business is a MUSLIM FREE establishment, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Thank you.”

The Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store has received death threats from around the world since posting the sign.

“I saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday,” Sheriff Charles Pearson told muskogeenow.com. ”The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It’s like the Clampetts have come to town.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the store.
