👉 The term "weapon" in this context refers to any object designed or modified for offensive use, often with the intent of causing harm. A common mistake is conflating all objects with a weaponative purpose, ignoring the vast array of non-lethal or innocuous items that could be mistakenly identified as such. For instance, a firecracker or a paintbrush might be perceived as weapons due to their potential for harm, but they are entirely harmless. Another mistake is assuming that all weapons are always lethal; many everyday items like knives or even a baseball bat can be dangerous if used improperly. Misidentifying these objects as weapons can lead to unnecessary fear, panic, or even physical harm, highlighting the importance of understanding the context and purpose behind each item.
