👉 A placed weapon refers to a type of weapon that is carried or positioned by an individual in a specific location, often for defensive purposes. Unlike handheld weapons, which are wielded directly by the user, placed weapons can include items like knives, batons, or even improvised objects that are strategically positioned to deter or incapacitate an attacker. These weapons are commonly used in self-defense scenarios, law enforcement situations, or in martial arts to maintain control without resorting to lethal force. The effectiveness of a placed weapon depends on its concealment, accessibility, and the user's ability to quickly deploy it when necessary.
