New Jersey's Security Dilemna

Recently we heard that Newark, NJ was laying off around 10%+ their cops. Newark -- not being a paragon of safety in the best of times -- is evidentially suffering a rash of drive by shootings and other issues.

The city council's solution is to require private businesses, specifically fast food joints open for "fourth meal" at night, to hire private armed security guards.

Of course, I can't imagine that late night Chinese places, Taco Bell, etc can afford to hire paragons of private security professionalization. They will either close their doors late at night, or they'll hire cheap crappy rent-a-cops with marginal training and equipment. The average citizen and small business owner -- who is still denied any right of self defense in Jersey -- loses. I wonder if NJ will start accepting CCW applications from people who work at fast food joints late at night for having just cause now? I doubt it...
