    Angst implies a generalized dread but I can quite well articulate what bugs me.

    Given I've been working 60+ hour weeks and handling a lot of other things as well, maybe I'm a bit on edge. Especially today since I just passed another night this week without sleep.
    The only other guy who is as angry as me :D

    None for me either. I do have a Sales & Use Tax License, however.

    HoCo doesn't even require me to have a Business License because I stock less than 10K in inventory....
    HoCo forced me to get a business license, because I could not guarantee that I would never have inventory.

    Interesting. Before I applied for my permit I checked in to getting a business license because I thought that the more the better to prove I was a legit business entity, but no dice. More to the point the lady on the phone told me I would have to show multiple months of inventory over $10K before they could issue me a license.

    I am a contractor, not a retailer.

    I'm not even 100% sure what "business license" we are referring to. I have both a MD Corporation and a MD based LLC. One does a fair amount business annually, the llc is somewhat small revenue wise. I don't have a "license" issued to me to operate either, the one corporation was formed in 2005.

    Can you provide details to substantiate such a claim?

    Long and short for those who haven't seen my other posts, I am self-employed(Realtor). They want the brokerage whom I am affiliated with to write a letter that states they "want" me to be armed while working and affiliated with this broker. The brokerage will not permit my manager to sign such a letter and I completely understand why. I am furious as I meet all of the "G&S" reasons and my interviewing trooper said I looked like a standard case for them.

    IT'S ON!

    My response to MSP, the 2nd Amendment and the Right To Carry is always the same.

    WHY should an honest citizen be forced to give a compelling reason why he should be granted his Constitutional Rights?

    Should it not be the Maryland State Police responsible to give cause why a Citizen be denied his Constitutional Rights?

    Well stated Eddie, burden of proof should be on the State. And, that should be very easy though minimal investigation.

    Do you still have to pay the business personal property tax?

    I didn't record our phone conversation, so no. Feel free to call HoCo and ask what it takes to get a business license.

    You betcha, doncha know.....

    If you have to pay Business Personal Property tax, that means your an LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, PA or CHTD - Your Articles of Incorporation should meet the MSP's needs to document your legitimate business - no "license" needed.

    There are at least a dozen businesses that I can think of that require no license - even in Howard County.
