I'm pretty sure there are jurisdictions where you can be arrested just for carrying lockpicks, so buyer beware.

^ Yep, that's the case in my state. Had a set in my car that I forgot about and had to explain myself to some cops a couple of years back :/
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I read this and the only thing I think about is this: There's probably somewhere in the world where you can freely walk with a gun, but not with a lock pick. I must admit that this lock pick looks way too damn dangerous to carry on the street without a proper licence  :p

Still sad the won't ship to Canada. It's good since it's going to save me some money for something that I would probably just use a little for fun, but still it looks so damn nice, I just want to try it!

Luckily, they have links to check the legality by state within the sale page.

If you're interested in this stuff get it off DealExtreme, they'll ship to any location and their picks are pretty cheap.

Strange thing is that in the US you can often open-carry a gun, but can't carry an open container of alcohol.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

this is absolutely correct. Sadly, as you say: their picks are pretty cheap, which is a problem.
