No, it is not illegal to own lock picks in Oklahoma.

Added: CAUTION! Although it may be lawful to own and carry them, unless you are a licensed locksmith who just happens to be working, if you are found carrying them while in suspicious circumstances, you COULD be charged with the Possession of Implements of Crime.

Added: Actually, carrying lock picks under suspicious circumstances is still not a crime. A crime would be using the lock picks to get into someone else's property, in which case the problem is the act of breaking into someone else's stuff rather than the method.

There is no circumstance under which simply carrying lock picks would reasonably result in any kind of criminal charge unless the person in question has actually been tied to and charged with another crime. The same is true of any other (normally) mundane item such as a screwdriver, a crow bar, a bat, a stick, a rock or a pocket knife.

There is no circumstance in the United States where carrying lock picks, in and of itself, is illegal. Not one.
