The Commission expressed concern regarding such weapons on site for a childcare facility and also questioned whether mock guns that looked very close to being an operable weapon were appropriate at the proposed childcare facility. Staff confirmed that Mr. Pfund did use operable, unloaded weapons for his adult instruction in Dublin to familiarize the students with how weapons may be used in various scenarios. This training technique helps to remove fear when a student may be confronted with an assailant brandishing a weapon. Ammunition was also present at the Dublin site in a location inaccessible to students. The weapons were not used when the children were present. Staff discussed the issue with CCLD. The State did not support operable weapons for use at the facility during the day, however, CCLD acknowledged the value in using mock weapons for training during the adult classes. The State further determined that because the childcare center is separate from the adult classes. Mr. Pfund could use mock guns during the adult classes. The Planning Commission determined that it was reasonable to allow mock guns if they were a bright color, not real, and used in the adult classes only, and were not in view when children are present. The project was conditioned as follows: 10. Orange rubber training guns are permitted for use with the adult classes only. Page 5 of 10
