Firearms training and retail business in light industrial district
Portage
Summary
A new training academy wants to teach self-defense and safety classes in a vacant suite of the former Hershing school building, and eventually sell firearms and ammo to students and appointment customers. The commission weighed keeping walk-in retail out of industrial zones while not limiting the owner's federal firearms license activities.
