A ‘Weapon” ( in describing a Firearm or a Gun) Is NOT, a ‘Weapon”, (Unless it has been used as one)
A Screwdriver, a Hammer, a Wrench, a Tire Iron, A Baseball Bat, A Golf Club, etc. are NOT, 'Weapons’, And are, NOT, described as one. (Unless they are used as one).
The above, ’tools’ or, ’Sporting goods’, are never described as a ‘weapons’. (Unless they have been specifically used as one) Their are times, when a firearm, Is, described as a ‘weapon’. And those are very specific times. Such as a Soldier, talking to another Soldier, about a firearm they have been issued. Or a Police Officer, talking to another, Police Officer, about the firearm they carry. Or a Attorney, in a Court of law, talking about a firearm, that was USED, as a, ‘weapon’. Which the word, ‘Weapon’ would, also apply to; A Screwdriver, a Hammer, a Wrench, a Tire Iron, A Baseball Bat, A Golf Club, etc. If used in that manner.
So a Firearm or Gun, is NOT, a, ‘Weapon’. In fact 99.99% of Firearms, or guns, are NOT,’ Weapons’. So Why, ’say’ they are ?
Because the, Ultra-Liberal, is, 'moving', you to say it.
If you have a 'Carry Permit', Look what it says. It probably says, 'Pistol', So does that mean, (By Absolute Letter of the Law), One can, NOT, carry a, 'revolver' ?
Then take it one step further, and LOOK, at the Actual LAW. Your Eyes will OPEN !
A Handgun, carried for self defense/protection, is NOT, a , Weapon, ONLY, until, After it is used in such a 'defense'. could it be called such.
Calling a, 'firearm', a, 'Weapon', Is, Pandering to the, 'Ultra-Liberals', Who say: "Look Their are caring, WEAPONS".
Or, it is the big, (Swinging thing), syndrome.
I do NOT, carry a, 'weapon', I carry a, 'firearm'.
