So if the city doesn't specifically say "do not test chemical weapons in the downtown area" then a business should be free to do so ?

Is that the type of system you are proposing here ?

I can imagine about 100 other layers of law and regulation that would be better suited at dealing with this scenario than some municipal licensing issue. So, yes?

Can we at a minimum focus on practical participants and outcomes when debating policy?
