First off I don't see where it was to many earlier comments that stated this was not going to work the most would have liked to seen a different agency handle it for what reason each person has well I could'nt tell you and I really don't think you know the answer to that either. I know I pay all my taxes and everything else that is required to the best of my knowledge. Now I might get auditted tommorrow and find out I was not as I understand you had happen recently. I doubt very seriously any of us have done everything exactly by the books but all we can do is what we think is right. As far as accusing everyone of doing business illegal because they would rather see someone else oversee the license is a bit uncalled for. What we need to do instead of argueing back and forth just because we all don't  see eye to eye is to figure out what we need to do to fix what needs to be fixed. The license is here for all of us but now it needs to be fixed. I know the scammers was the big problem in your areas, we did'nt have that problem here. What we have now that there is a license is the handymen and every other person that wants doing lockwork now and they are not required to be licensed. I hear over and over that we can't touch the so called big box stores and that is probally true but if we eliminate the ones that the big box stores sub the work to then who does that leave for them to sub to. Thats right the licensed locksmith. Lowes or Home Depot don't install anything there self it is all sub contracted. But to my knowledge all they use is contractors and handymen. Correct me if I am wrong but I do't think they have all the exemptions under the electronic license, so why should the locksmith be any different. From what I understand with most everyones comment as we all want the same thing and that is a license that is fair for the small as well as the large business and that if we have training provided by the DCJS it is done by someone that has locksmith knowledge and not just the same one that does the electonic trainingand get rid of all these ridiculas exemptions. We can't protect the public or our industry by requiring only the ones that are suppose to know how to do locksmith work and allowing all the others continue to do it without one. Lets stop putting down our fellow locksmiths for there position on this and just come together and fix it. Jimmy
