When a cop asks you...

[Ktmracer419]

"do you have any weapons in the vehicle?"

what is classified as a weapon?

something made exclusively to hurt people?

something made for sport that can hurt people? (guns)

something made for everyday use that you can use to hurt people?(knife,bat)

my fist?

a 1/2" drive ratchet?



I mean you could rip the console lid off and whack someone in the face with it and it would be considered a weapon.

weapon  
–noun 1. any instrument or device for use in attack or defense in combat, fighting, or war.
2. anything used against an opponent, adversary, or victim.

haha a guy I know got pulled over with a pickup full of fertilizer and diesel fuel just after the whole Oklahoma city deal. He also happened to be in the FBI, and the cop didn't ask many questions.

I once told a cop I had a pocket knife when he asked, and he took the fucking thing.. That's what I get for being honest at 16. When I was 17 a cop asked me and I showed him my CRKT and he was laughed and said keep it, I meant a real weapon like a gun or something.

i had a cop nearly draw his gun on me seeing a faux leatherman in my glove compartment thinking it was a butterfly knife.

My buddy is a cop and he usually rattles something off like "any guns, knives, hand grenades, dead bodies, tanks, aircraft carriers....." in a boomhower-esque tone.

I said yeah, my hunting knife and leatherman.



Heres a better question, what do you say when a cop asks you were your horn is? Blinkers? Air bag? Does this thing even have sway bars?

I had a friend who had to go to court over having a baseball bat in his car.



He was a baseball player.

funny thing is i had a knife in my pocket at the time he asked me. i didn't consider it a weapon. i consider it a tool.
