It was reported over the weekend that the owner of a gun store in Arizona is telling Pres. Obama's supporters he doesn't want their business.

Cope Reynolds, the owner of Southwest Shooting Authority, a gun store located in Pinetop, Arizona, took out a full page ad in a local newspaper that read: "If you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome."

The New York Daily News reports that Mr. Reynolds also posted a sign on the store's front door:

"If you voted for Obama, please turn around and leave! You have proven you are not responsible enough to own a firearm."

It is not known how Reynolds will identify Obama supporters and it doesn't seem likely that one would admit to having voted to reelect the president if they wish to purchase a gun at his store.

A Southern California man was arrested at Oakland International Airport after security officers found him wearing an unusual watch they said could be used to make a timing device for a bomb, authorities said Friday.

Geoffrey McGann, 49, of Rancho Palos Verdes was taken into custody Thursday night after he tried to pass through airport security with an ornate watch that had switches, wires and fuses.

A bomb squad arrived within five minutes and determined there were no explosive materials in the watch.

McGann was taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin where he was charged with possessing materials to make an explosive device, sheriff's officials said. He was still in custody Friday night and could not be reached for comment.

McGann told Transportation Security Administration officers that he's an artist and the watch is art..

While no actual explosives were found, McGann was carrying potentially dangerous materials and appeared to have made alterations to his boots, which were unusually large and stuffed with layers of insoles

In a week in which gold prices neared their highest level in three weeks and were seen by one company to reach $2,000 an ounce next year , the precious metal is enjoying its time in the sun.

It’s also finding its way into the wallets of some of the richest consumers in Kazakhstan – in credit-card form.

Visa and Sberbank have begun offering a credit card made of solid gold to Sberbank’s top 100 customers in Kazakhstan as a companion card to the Visa Infinite card, hoping to capitalize on what they see as a "growing appetite for elite, status-symbol cards."

The card is embedded with 26 diamonds equal to 0.17 carats, but it’s not just for show. While it doesn’t have a magnetic strip, it can be used for chip-based transactions.

That said, it’s hard to imagine people will feel comfortable enough carrying it around. The card costs $100,000 for the first year -- $65,000 for the card itself with the remaining $45,000 as credit, a spokesperson for Visa confirmed. The annual fee is $2,000.

Grupo Bimbo, a Mexican company that is the world's largest bread baker, might hold the key to saving the Twinkie from extinction in a

Hostess liquidation

Though other companies have shown interest in buying some of Hostess' iconic brands, Bimbo might have the inside track according to the Christian Science Monitor.

A $10 billion sales business , Bimbo has pushed its way into the baked-goods big leagues through smart acquisitions under the leadership of CEO

Daniel Servitje Montull .

In 2010, Bimbo bought the North American fresh-baked unit of Sara Lee for $959 million according to the Associated Press, and with it, well-known brands like Entenmann's and Thomas' English Muffins.

Bimbo's access to cheap Mexican sugar

might also give the company an upper hand. Hostess struggled with high sugar prices in the U.S., which were tied to trade tariffs, according to NBC News. Mexican sugar could help avoid those additional costs, but would also take production -- and manufacturing jobs -- south of the border.

Labor talks between Hostess and the unions that represent most of its 19,000 workers had gone on for months before the company's decision to liquidate Friday.
