§ 18.2-94. Possession of burglarious tools, etc.

If any person have in his possession any tools, implements or outfit, with intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny, upon conviction thereof he shall be guilty of a Class 5 felony. The possession of such burglarious tools, implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny.

(Code 1950, § 18.1-87; 1960, c. 358; 1970, c. 587; 1975, cc. 14, 15.)

Speaking of which, is it illegal to own lockpicks in VA? I know it's illegal in some states unless you're a locksmith. I always wanted to get a set but I don't know if I can. Not for anything illegal it just seems like it'd be a cool thing to be able to do. From that up there it appears simple possession without intent isn't illegal at first, then it looks like you have to be licensed so I don't know.

Dagoberto?? Really? Are you shitting me? Dagoberto??
