Yes, you can own lockpicks. Get a windshield wiper blade. The metal inserts are enough for at least 8 tension wrenches.

We can only help them who help themselves. Nothing in life is free. You want knowledge, you will have to work for it. Just be thankful that there is a search button for a vast database full of usefull info, as the alternative is to pay for schooling to teach you far less than you can learn here.
I will give you the first step for finding my personal favorite tension wrench. Search for "Kaotik"
Also, might want to look at the site that is linked in my signature.

Sure, go to your local police department and ask them to sell you some lockpicking tools. They will gladly give you a free lesson with a room all to yourself behind a locked door to see if you can get out.
Seriously though, some tools have been found at army surplus stores and other outlets. If you old enough to drive, hop in the car and cruise around town and look for some. If your in the Bronx, you shoud have no problem finding some.

You don't like the search, You don't want to follow the advice to make your own tension wrenches, you don't want website links for help.... What exactly are you after here? None of the members are going to personally deliver picks and wrenches to your door. Theres a fellow named Shrub here that you will meet soon, he's a great guy. Feel free to send him a PM with all your questions, he'll be most helpful to you.

Yes, they are all over the place.
I know this don't help you, but there is a place that sells HPC, Pro Loc, and other name brand (lock pick) tools right "down the street" from me.
I know you hate the search button, but have you tried google? That is how I found my supplier. I punched in the City, State, and a few different other words dealing with lock picking and found a warehouse near by.
But if you live in "B-F-E", it may be of no help.
Also, be aware, that most places that sell these items will probably ask for some sort of Locksmith I.D. (or other credentials)
You would be better off making a tension wrench!!

Listen and follow the good advice. find a post that looks like it will help. If you really want to spend more $$$$$$, go to a spy supply and you can get one. read, search, try to be open minded. we're only trying to help. and yes, you can go get wiper blades. it's easy. go to your nearest auto supply shop and check the trash bin just outside the front door. people who are replacing their wipers have no use for their bad ones. (unbelievable as it is, they throw them out) go get some, then SEARCH this site on how to make your own picks.
hey, have fun!
