Hey guys,

Im new to this site, and im am new to any type of lock picking.

I currently am in college, and studying up to go into some type of law enforcement, Federal or local.

I came here to hopefully get some helpful advise on how to start up this hobbie.

Ive been looking at this site for a while, it's fun stuff and good too know. I cracked my first tumbler lock a couple weeks ago, its a real good feeling. Going out today to get me a more challanging lock, something I can learn off. Just wanna say hi to everyone and thanks for letting me join.
