IL prohibits the sale and possession of lock picks. I don't know the scope
or wording of the law. I do know that online merchants won't sell those
items to IL residents.

I did find this page.

I find it interesting that many states have wording requring "intent", i.e.
one has to have the picks with intent to use them to commit a crime. This
is what I would normally expect.

Some states, apparently, do not require intent: mere possession is a crime.

Mere possession of lockpicks is a crime, unless
of course if you're a locksmith. Probably at least
as much about protecting turf as it is about any
crime prevention.

I think it depends on jurisdiction.

In NV, you must be an LEO or a licensed locksmith. A few years ago
when I inquired about this, there was exactly one person who could
train locksmiths and issue those licenses. Turf, indeed.

It is, however, legal to sell them to anyone in NV.
