QUESTION:
Do u need a license or permit to buy/sell gold in Oklahoma City?
I am interested in buying gold. How do I find out if I need a license or permit to do so in Oklahoma or any where else?-
ANSWER:
You do not need a license or permit to buy and hold gold for personal purposes. If you are operating a business, you may need a license.
Visit City Hall or contact the Chamber of Commerce in Oklahoma city.I operate a computer repair business. However, I have so store or public shop, I go on site, so essentially I operate out of my truck. Since I have no store or place of business, I do not need a license where I live. If I had a computer store, or even a walk-in repair shop, I would need a license in my community. Your mileage may vary.

QUESTION:
What do you think of my Mock Draft (rate it)?
1. Rams – Ndamukong Suh, DT Nebraska – Arguably the best defensive player in the history of college football. Unfortunately, this is the last time you hear his name as he falls into the inglorious black hole of mediocrity known as St. Louis. Other than that, I love the team.2. Lions – Dez Bryant, WR Oklahoma State – After realizing that bad publicity is better than no publicity, the Lions revert to the Matt Millen Era of drafting 4 receivers in 5 years. Meanwhile Detroit fans wonder why they aren’t Browns fans. Oh yeah. Nevermind.
3. Bucs – Gerald McCoy, DT Oklahoma – I have nothing bad to say about the guy. Mainly because he is right behind me and can easily beat me up, or at the very least pay someone to do it for him. Does that work for ya, Gerald? Good.
4. Redskins – Jimmy Clausen, QB Notre Dame – Danny Boy continues Washington’s string of drafting bad quarterbacks in the first round. Welcome to an elite fraternity, Jimmy. Somehow I don’t think Heath Shuler, Patrick Ramsey, and Jason Campbell are sipping champagne on his behalf.
5. Chiefs – Eric Berry, S Tennessee – He is considered the best safety since Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu. Unfortunately, the Chiefs still finish the season 4-12.
6. Seahawks – Sam Bradford, QB Oklahoma – The Seahawks exchange a 35-year old quarterback with a quarterback that has shoulders of a 35-year old. How could that possibly fail?
7. Browns – Russell Okung, OT Oklahoma State – Since I’m relatively positive that no one actually cares about this pick, I’m going to use this time to say that I’m pretty sure Bernie from “Weekend at Bernie’s” works out at my gym. Seriously. Dead likeness. Sorry, I had to tell someone.
8. Raiders – Drew Butler, P Georgia – After reading a blog on the internet, Al Davis is convinced that field position is the ultimate factor into winning in the NFL. Who better to do that than this past year’s Ray Guy Award winner? Ray Guy…former Raiders punter. Butler…the Ray Guy Award winner. Coincidence? Of course not.
9. Bills – Anthony Davis, OT Rutgers – Confession #1: I have no idea who Anthony Davis is. Confession #2: I had no idea the city of Buffalo still had a football team. My soul is now cleansed. Okay then…moving on…
10. Broncos (from Chicago Bears) – Rolando McClain, LB Alabama – This pick was acquired in the trade that sent Jay Cutler to Chicago for Kyle Orton. Let’s be honest. A bag of Cheetos would be a better pick here than keeping Cutler, so anything more and you’ve scored gold. The Broncos, as expected, don’t go with the bag of chips and draft the best linebacker in college football last year instead.
11. Jaguars – Tim Tebow, QB Florida – This is solely a pick to help sell tickets. I mean, after all, the city of Jacksonville couldn’t even sell out the Super Bowl. No word if Planned Parenthood is editing an anti-Tebow video for their website. Meanwhile, head coach Jack Del Rio wonders why he didn’t take the USC coaching job. One word, Jack: Probation.
12. Dolphins – Dan LeFevour, QB Central Michigan – Bill Parcells decides to build an offense around the rare Triple Wildcat formation all while gaining the impressive distinction of using a high draft pick on a QB in 4 consecutive years. Miami still finishes 8-8 and misses the playoffs.
13. 49ers – Joe Haden, CB Florida. Does anyone else miss the Niners’ glory days of Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Steve Young...I really could go on forever…Ken Norton, Dwight Clark, John Taylor, Eric Davis, Merton Hanks…?
14. Seahawks – Joe McKnight, RB USC – Not realizing he is no longer a college coach, Pete Carroll gets in a recruiting war with LSU over the services of Joe McKnight. Carroll’s mistake is McKnight’s gain as he gets a lucrative deal worth millions more than what he deserves. Far less than what he made at USC.
15. Giants – C.J. Spiller, RB Clemson – Carroll’s mistake is New York’s gain as they draft the most electrifying running back in college football. No need to fear, Pete. Tom Coughlin will sap the fun out of his game by the preseason.
16. 49ers – Bryan Bulaga, OT Iowa – Don’t be surprised to see the 49ers trade this pick to the Saints for overpaid Reggie Bush, making it the Gore-Bush backfield. Sadly, this joke came 10 years too late. Better late than never.
17. Titans – Everson Griffen, DE USC – Owner Bud Adams makes the bold claim of “All we need is another weapon for Vince Young and we will win the Super Bowl.” He then flips off the fans and drafts a defensive end. Makes sense to me.
18. Steelers – Brian Price, DT UCLA – Word on the street is Price is the best UCLA Bruin since Cade McNown. Oh dear Lord!
19. Falcons – Earl Thomas, S Texas – Some experts think he could make the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Let me see, Justin Smith: Pro Bowler. Terence Newman: Pro Bowler. David Garrard: Pro Bowler. Quintell Mickell: Pro Bowler.
