Like I said, some states consider possession of lock picking tools prima facie evidence of intent to commit burgulary, and around half make possession of the tools legal. You can't carry an illegal gun and claim it's legal because you didn't intend to use it, because possession is illegal; if possessing lock picks is illegal, it doesn't matter what for they're in, it's still illegal.
