👉 A cleared weapon refers to a firearm or other projectile device that has been legally released, confiscated, or otherwise removed from a person's possession due to criminal activity, mental health evaluations, or other legal proceedings. This clearance process typically involves a thorough investigation and assessment by law enforcement or authorized authorities to ensure the individual poses no further threat to public safety. Once cleared, the weapon is officially released and can be legally possessed by the individual, subject to any remaining legal restrictions or conditions set by law enforcement.
