as suggested, check your state's laws but...
typically there's a BIG distinction between *owning* items like lock picks and *carrying* lock picks on you. if you just own them, and keep them in your house for educational purposes, you are probably ok. if you get caught with them on your person out in public it might be considered burglary tools.
fwiw, in texas they are routinely sold at gun shows, suprlus shops, and the like.
