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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
