Not sure what the laws are on this, but I wouldn't want to OC if my job included going hand to hand on a daily basis, with multiple people at a time in some cases.
Would you say the same about an on-duty police officer?
I'm not saying that the bouncer's decision was right, but I'd probably use different criteria to judge his decision. Either way, I do hope that this bouncer has a good retention holster, and has had significant training in weapon retention as well. It could be a bad situation for all if he were to become unexpectedly disarmed during an encounter.
