That's not the issue. These shops are selling booze and even shots IIRC. They have grills that are maintained to be "Inside the local law" but many don't actually use the grill ever. In other words, these little bodaga's found a loop hole and are exploiting it
"Loophole" is a euphemism for "following the law as written" used when the speaker doesn't like how the law works. See also: "gun show loophole," "assault weapon loophole" (taking off the scary cosmetic features while maintaining the functional elements of the gun), etc.

Uhhhhhh OK.

I know what a loophole is. This particular "loophole" has nothing to do with "gun show loopholes"

I fail to see the point of your post

You're complaining about the businesses in question "exploiting" a "loophole." I provided examples of the shoe being on the other foot, wherein we were "exploiting" a "loophole." I suspect you didn't complain about those....

Ok, I understand trying to regulate these ersatz "liquor stores"... but for God's sake, WTF does bulletproof glass have to do with ANYTHING???? If you don't want them to be liquor stores in all but name, fine. No problem with that. But how does having bulletproof glass in your liquor store, convenience store or bank or loan business or whatever hurt the community?

They're trying to remove the BP glass so the owners will feel more physically threatened (by the shady crowd the loophole attracts), and stop the practice.

I'm trying my best to get into her thinking, and it may be that if they took away the bullet proof glass, the store owners may not be so willing to screw the customer as they might get shot by a gansta?
Dunno.
