This is the law in Arizona: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/01505.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/1... The key here is intent. As in, can a cop convince a judge you intended to commit or aid a burglary. When I got my set some years ago I was in New York, and you had to show that they were legitimate tools for your job in order to buy them. (They were, mostly.)

It's a crapshoot though. Definitely look it up for each location. A lot of state laws include verbiage like "with the intent to commit a crime", while others word it such that possessing lock picks is the proof of intent, and where I am, there is no statewide law.
