👉 A statutory weapon refers to a legally recognized firearm or weapon that is permitted under specific laws and regulations within a jurisdiction. These weapons are typically defined by statutes, which outline their permissible use, restrictions on ownership and possession, and the requirements for licensing or registration. Statutory weapons can include handguns, shotguns, rifles, and other firearms that meet the criteria set forth by law, often designed to balance public safety concerns with the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and carry firearms for self-defense or other legitimate purposes.
