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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
