The speaker revisits the topic of obtaining a liquor license in Mississippi, highlighting the complexities and costs involved. They mention that while a beer permit might be relatively inexpensive and simple to obtain (costing around $10-$20 from the Department of Revenue), acquiring a liquor license is significantly more challenging and costly. The speaker notes that even someone with a felony conviction can engage in various business activities in Mississippi but is restricted from obtaining a liquor license or potentially running a bank. They argue that everyone should have the opportunity to get a liquor license provided they are current on their taxes or have a payment plan in place.
The discussion then shifts to the enforcement of liquor laws in Jackson, Mississippi. The speaker suggests that certain practices, like bottle service with sparklers in nightclubs, are technically illegal but commonly occur due to a lack of enforcement. They imply that there's a reluctance among ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) agents to enforce these laws in specific venues like M-Bar, 4th Avenue, and Freelance, allowing these establishments to operate outside the legal bounds without repercussions.
This conversation reflects frustration with the bureaucratic and enforcement aspects of liquor licensing and regulation in Mississippi
