👉 A "stopped weapon" refers to a firearm or other armament that has been intentionally disabled or rendered inoperable, typically through deliberate actions such as disarming an individual, preventing unauthorized use, or as a security measure. This can involve physically removing the firearm's ammunition, disabling its firing mechanism, or even using chemical agents to render the weapon non-functional. Stopped weapons are often employed in contexts requiring heightened security, law enforcement operations, or to prevent harm, serving as a critical tool for maintaining safety and order.
