👉 The entitled weapon is a concept from the philosophy of law, particularly in the context of legal positivism and natural law theory. It refers to a weapon that is legally recognized as legitimate by a given society or legal system, often due to its status as a tool of state power or its inclusion in the legal framework governing warfare. This weapon is considered entitled because it has been sanctioned by laws, regulations, or international agreements, granting it a recognized right to be used in defense or aggression. The key aspect is that its use is not arbitrary but follows established legal norms, distinguishing it from weapons used in contexts outside the law, such as civil disputes or criminal activities.
