A set of lockpicks. I must admit they were much more useful in school than after. But at this point I've had some set of picks in my pocket for more than half my life so I doubt I'll stop anytime soon.

    Because in middle school when I bought my first set I was a little edgelord who wanted to lord it over my friends.

    In college, I played all of a Resident Evil game by sneaking into classrooms after hours and plugging my Xbox 360 into the media center's projector that was behind a wafer lock. Horror is best played on screens measured in feet in dark rooms.

    One time my uncle forgot his keys to a storage unit and I managed to get the lock open for him. This might be the one time I used them legitimately.

    I want to carry mine around but if you get arrested for any reason doesn't it enhance any charges?

    Not that I ever interact with the fuzz

    My understanding is most states follow the precident set by Massachusetts: if you're caught with them while committing a crime or on your way to commit a crime then its a problem. Some states require you to be a locksmith. Either way, I don't make it obvious I have them and don't go around committing a bunch of crimes. Scout's honor.
