Planning commissioners split 4-3 Wednesday over the approval of a proposed firearms training facility near Frostproof.
Cary Scott and Garrett Anderson of Avon Park, who proposed the range on a 40-acre former clay pit off J Zoffay Road, argued the project could boost the area's economy by turning Polk into a center for firearms training facilities.
Lake Wales lawyer Bart Allen, who represented a number of local grove owners, and others questioned whether a facility would be compatible with current citrus operations and future residential development in the area.
Anderson said they are planning to appeal Wednesday's vote to the County Commission. |

"Gunfire frightens workers," he said, arguing that would interfere with harvesting.
Immaterial. Cavalry horses had to be enured to gunfire, and had that training not been successful, there would have been no cavalry.
Some initial discomfort might be expected, but it should not impede free enterprise. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
