Umm some people like the challenge of beeing able to open locks. Just like somepeople like the challenge of making a php script, but that doesnt mean they want to become professional php coders in their life? A hobby isnt just means to learning skills you need in later life.

You can widelly use programming for a good activity but it's rare for a lockpicker to do so..

rare? most people who lockpick dont use it do steal things. The morals of certain people shouldnt mean a hobbie should be banned. I mean look at shooting, lots of people have guns legally and dont threaten or injure humans with them, just because somepeople use them to shoot people should guns be outright banned?

Also, if you but a lock thats worth more, it will be designed to keep out beginer lockpickers.. some locks in europe actualy are upside down, so thier pins are litraly upside down. So if you used a lockpick gun or a bumping method that exploits newtons law (newtons cradel concept) it will be imposible for anyone to pick that lock using the bumping method or a lockpick gun. So the cost of the locks you buy is Worth it!

Locks are primarly used too keep people out, and if you pick a house door open, your insurance agency cant do anything about it becuase they'll just say "You left your door open, im sorry, I cant cover your losses"

why? thats becuase there is no evidance left if you were to pick a lock for burgulary reasons. If they used a brick to open a window then your insurance agency will cover you.

sound quite the expert dont we:P

done a litte bit of lock picking have you

if you break into somthing thats not yours its agaisnt the law doesnt stop people from doing it though:P
