Definitions

*Weapon is defined as a tool designed to apply force for the purpose of causing harm or damage to persons, animals or structures. Judges shall apply a common sense principle to this Act on a case by case basis vis-à-vis tools used in the occupation of the owner.

Example A: A Doctor going about his work may be found in possession of a surgical scalpel and bone saw. Neither of these are to be considered weapons as they are used as an essential part of his profession.

Example B: A Scrivener going about his work is found in possession of a Blaster Rifle, he does not have a permit. He is found guilty under this Act as this weapon is not an essential part of his profession.

**Armour is defined as protective covering used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an individual or a vehicle through use of direct contact weapons or projectiles, usually during combat. Judges should again apply a common sense principle to this Act on a case by case basis vis-à-vis protective equipment for leisure or professional use.

Example A: A Welder is found wearing a thick layer of leather for protection from sparks. This protective equipment shall not be considered illegal armour.

Example B: An “Old Mandalorian Traditionalist” enters a town centre dressed in his suit of armour. He is found guilty under this act.
