Mac's True Nature (spoilers for BG)

But hold it a minute, Mac's Bar is neutral territory, different factions meet there from time to time. Did Mac ever sign the Accords? If he had, he cannot reside over neutral territory, signing the Accords is taking a side.

He's had a sign on the wall since the first book that says it's Accorded Neutral Territory. He filled out the necessary paperwork.
He may not be a member of the Accorded Nations, but he's recognized as a neutral party, and his place is a neutral location. And I'd bet money that he's obligated to recognize the rules about guest law and whatnot.
Telynn:
You know, depending on how the placard works, you are right, it might not be 'taking a side'. If it protects anyone taking sanctuary in the bar, then that could be ANYONE from ANYONE. An outsider could be hiding from Harry.

Yup. If Ethniu had challenged Marcone under the rules of the accords, claiming he was illegitimate as a human, then she could have attacked Chicago legally and also strolled into Mac's bar in the middle of it.
Dina:
Not with the placard. An outsider couldn't get inside. That is what I understood I mean. An outsider couldn't enter the place unless someone killed Mac first.

That is true, so why did he need the Placard then? It apparently didn't make him superman, nor did necessarily make his threshold any stronger. Yeah, before this all went down, an Outsider was in his place and named him for what he was, a Watcher. It was all about the Placard and the meaning of it that Mac was reacting to. Not Harry figuring out what he is, Mac wasn't upset, he was very calm when he prevented Harry from seeing him with his sight.. ""Don't," the mostly mute man said gently. "Hurt yourself."
