Company Displays Controversial Message
Owner Says He Supports Military With 'You Will Be Shot' Sign


APOPKA, Fla. -- A company that sells high-powered weapons is displaying a controversial message on its vehicles, creating a buzz in Central Florida.

The message, displayed in large white letters on the windows of vehicles owned by Spikes Tactical, reads: "Stay 100 meters back, or you will be shot." Beneath it is the same message transcribed in Arabic.

"I think it's appalling. Why would you put that on the back of your car?" said Jessica Thomas, an Orlando-area motorist.

Others said the company is expressing its First Amendment right, including the owner, who refused to go on camera with Local 6 News. He said his message is misunderstood.

He said he got the idea from the U.S. military, which posts the same signs on the back of its Humvees while fighting in the Middle East.
