Is Lock picking illegal?

In the United States, the laws concerning possession of lock picks vary greatly from state to state. In many, possession and use of lock picks is considered equivalent to the possession of a crowbar or any other tool that could be used in a burglary. Illegal possession of lock picks is generally prosecuted as a felony under the category of possession of burglary tools or similar statutes. In many states, possession is completely legal as their statutes require proof of intent. In California, locksmiths are licensed by the state. However possession by any one else may be legal, as possession must be coupled with intent to use them illegally. In Canada, possession of lock picking tools, with the exception of key duplication tools, is legal. In Sasketchewan, Alberta and British Columbia a license is required to buy lock picks. Lock pick tools fit in the same category as crowbars or hammers, meaning they are legal to possess and use unless they are used to commit a crime or if it is shown there was "intention to commit a crime" in which case "Possession of tools with the intention of committing a crime" applies - which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail. Hope this helps you with your question. Depending on where you live you can buy lock pick sets online.
