Well, Agentsmith, all semantics aside how bout we use the Canadian Criminal Code Section 2 Definition of 'WEAPON": Means anything used, or intended (a) in causing death or injury to a person, or (b) for the purpose of threatening or intimidating any person.
Most anything can be used as a weapon, plastic bag, pickle jar, hammer, knife, gun. It is the intended use of the object that defines whether it is a weapon.
I hunt and shoot animals with a gun. I'm not breaking any laws with it. I'm not intending to kill people with it.
If it gives you the jollys to call your gun a weapon that's fine with me. In the context of legalities in a court of law nothing is a weapon until it is used as a weapon against another person..
