👉 The eligible weapon, as per standard definitions, typically refers to any firearm or ammunition capable of being fired from a handheld device such as a pistol, rifle, shotgun, or similar handgun. This includes weapons with a barrel length of 12 inches (30.5 cm) or less and generally excludes non-firearm weapons like bows, crossbows, or throwing weapons. However, the specific definition can vary slightly depending on jurisdiction and the context of use, but the core criteria remain centered around the type of firearm and its capacity to function as a weapon.
