Here in Texas possession is not a crime. I am not a licensed locksmith. Would I be able to receive a set if it were to be used as a hobby?

MRDRMUFNSounds like you'll be fine so long as you are not using the set for anything illicit.

jmillerBasically, in most states that they aren't illegal to possesses, you won't get in trouble except in situations where you have intent or it can be construed that you have used them. In the simplest terms, keep them at home or hide them when you're in public. Don't carry them near crime scenes and don't look like you're guilty and you're good.
