TOOOLUSA?

Postby EricM » 9 Dec 2004 16:17

So what do you guys think of TOOOL-USA?

I'd like to hear your ideas about lockpicking groups in the US, good, bad, recommendations, or would you actually attend any of the meetings?

Personally, I have no knowledge of TOOOL-USA. Could you give us a weblink to the site? How about stating your affiliation with it. How do you like it? What is the reason for its existence?

Who put the LAM in the LAM-DAMA-DING-DONG? Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand!

It like a long Tulsa, only with and 'o' and an 'usa'.

TOOOL-USA!


By the way, I'd be very intrested in creating one. Problem is; US is too widely dispersed. There would have to be smaller, city chapters or divisions.

I thought someone already started a TOOOL USA? A doctor and his wife or something?

I've been waiting some time to hear more about what they're doing, etc. From what I heard it was started in the New York area. Anyone have more info?

Anal retentive my ass, in new south wales maybe, but in Victoria and QLD i believe there are no laws refering to lockpicks as a such. The main prob would be members.

I think at one point romstar gave me an extract from somewhere other than the document referenced in the law sticky showing that in QLD if you possess picks (in public) without proof of legitimate use on your person, you're committing an offence. anyway - will have to go see a lawyer methinks... :(

Oh yes, PLEASE. Go see a lawyer about this.

I have so much of this stuff bouncing around in my head from other countries, it's beginning to get confusing.

I do believe though that New South Wales, Queensland, and the Capitol Territories are some of the strictest laws while Victoria is the laxest.
