This is a serious question and I'm asking because my town is debating new regulations for nightclubs about minimum security standards. The standards won't apply to restaurants, even ones with large bar areas.

Of course lots of those those restaurants tend to be chains like Hooters and Applebees while most bars in this area tend to be locally owned and operated. This just strikes me as yet another way that the "little" man gets screwed while the faceless giant corporation catches another break.

What do y'all think?
