Call your Georgia legislator and tell them you want the protection of a requirement of a license to operate as locksmith.

My trip to Texas was very satisfying. The test went well. I am more sure than not that I passed. I went through the 140 questions and answered all that I knew for certain and made notes about the ones for which I needed to go to the book. I did have a little trouble trying to cross reference the questions with the table of contents. Some of the information in a particular question could be found in several different sections of the book so it was not as straight forward as I had hoped. Never-the-less I believe I did well.
I got to see my sister Donna, and I met her boyfriend Frank. I really like him and we all had a nice time together. Next time I go back I hope I can get him to take me fishing down in Corpus Christi. That man can catch some fish! There were pictures of both of them with beautiful redfish and speckled trout all over the house. Nice!
The folks at Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Austin were great. Professor Phil welcomed me into his school and let me train as his guest. His instruction that day was great and I know that I am a better fighter because of it. Thanks professor.(A Jiu-Jitsu instructor is addressed as professor)
I had the pleasure of rolling with Richard, David and Georgette on Friday. I learned some stuff from them and had a good time rolling. Don’t forget to go fishing for elbows, Georgette! My training partner on Thursday was a young man named Matt. He was a great training partner. Anyone who practices Jiu-Jitsu(or any other martial art)knows that a good partner makes a training session. Thanks Matt.
I also met a good young man named Brian with whom I had a good talk about life and Jiu-Jitsu.
Good luck Brian and remember who we are. Whether or not we get into the ring, we are fighters. Always carry yourself like one. I took some knowledge with me when I left and I hope that I left a little also. Keep it real ya’ll.

Let’s start by saying thank you to Mr. Maxwell. He had us install Multilock High Security deadbolts and locksets on his home today. Every homeowner needs to consider buying Multilock locks for their home. The locks that you find on almost every home are of very poor quality. Even brands like Schlage and Baldwin make low security locks. If you are concerned about your locks being picked or bump picked, your keys being copied without your consent, and the very strength of the lock itself you need to have Master Locksmith/Abbot Safe & Lock install high security locks on your home.(Or business).
Now, what’s this about all roads leading back home? Well, we came to Atlanta about 15 years ago from Houston, Texas. Our business is doing well here in Atlanta and we have decided to go back home and open an office in Houston. The company in Houston will operate under the name Master Locksmith Company Inc.
Tomorrow morning I am flying to Austin, Texas to take the state exam for my locksmith license. I hope that Georgia will soon pass legislation to license locksmiths. The public needs this protection.
My exam is on Friday so I’ll have a little spare time. I plan to see my sister who lives there and to visit the Relson Gracie Jiu Jitsu school. That’s going to be a great time. Whenever I travel I like to find a local Jiu Jitsu school and train there. It’s always good to train with people other than your usual group. Keeps it real!
Look forward to my reading assignments coming soon. I want everyone to read “Democracy and Leadership” by Irving Babbitt. I’m going to start posting my commentary on this book soon.
There are some valuable lessons to be learned within its pages.

We get a great deal of this in Atlanta also. It is so sad that these people exist in this world. They are here only to prey on people during times of crisis. I know that many customers are truly in need of a “good price” when it comes to certain types of emergency services such as those that we provide. These are hard times for a lot of people and the last thing they need is some crooked “locksmith” coming to their “rescue” with these types of terroristic tactics. The hard truth is this. If the price sounds too good to be true, then it isn’t. People, please stop letting these guys fool you and rip you off. When that voice on the phone tells you that their charge for opening your car,for instance, is $35.00 to come out and “$15.00 and up for labor” you need to know right now that they never charge anyone $15.00 and the “up” side can be as high as $125.00-$150. I’ve seen this happen.
Be advised. Be smart. Be safe.
