Charging a mark up on parts is acceptable, esp if the installer bears the cost of keeping inventory. What really ticks me off, though, is parts wholesalers that absolutely refuse to give any similar

Sounds tempting, but it's well established law and legal precedent that a lethal "booby trap" makes its installer guilty of homocide. EVEN IF it's INSIDE his home or business, and the victim B&E'ed t
