I have been a locksmith in virginia for 28 years,and a one man operation . My company easly expensed the funds to gain the needed DCJS requirements needed. From day one I have always followed the laws taxing my income as a company in Virginia . Sadly others don't  Thay stay small under the radar and get away with it  year after year, There prices reflect  what going on . This can no longer be the done as easley This law now requires them to operate within the law or leave the business . The lock and safe business has been used by those that take advantage of the public for years, this law was needed 30 years ago. There other states that don't  regulate locksmith let them have the criminals and tax cheats
