Where is that pit bull thread when I need it?

[Scat]

okay, just to make sure i understand...

If i, knowing i am going to be involved in a tussle, preemptively cut off my own left leg, it's actually a weapon because now i've eliminated the possibility of a serious left ankle sprain, which may hinder my ability to fight?

Sweet. The interwebz rule.

No, it is a weapon. Even if the owner stupidly gets it done for cosmetic purposes, if the dog gets in a fight it will still be used by the dog (the reason they were invented).

Helmets are not always used in fights. If a dog has cropped ears, they are always used in fights. So it's easy to see why a helmet might not always be a weapon while cropped ears are.

If you have a permanently mounted helmet that was made for battle, then that would probably be considered a weapon too.

Are you really this stupidly retarded? Or do you just like to pretend? If I wear a helmet 24/7 for my entire life, but never get in a fight, my helmet is not a weapon. It doesn't matter what the original intention of the helmet was. If a pit bull has cropped ears, but NEVER gets into a fight, IT IS NOT A WEAPON. It doesn't matter what the original intention of cropped ears was. Everybody understands this but you.

Have people who speak English never used the term "use x as a weapon" before?

Yes.

I don't see how an x can be a weapon. But according to dictionary.com, everything is a weapon, so I suppose now I have to be afraid of errant x's.

Oooh, I just scared myself.

 

[Safetydan]

i use something that isn't inherently a weapon "as a weapon". Otherwise a qualifying statement wouldn't be required.

So if you have a gun but never shoot anyone, it's not a weapon then?

Cropped ears are a closer comparison to a helmet than a gun.

well, if we're going on damage potential alone, lack of ears is much farther down the list of weapons than your average helmet.

True. In fact from any standpoint ears are way below a helmet. A helmeted pitbull would be far more intimidating than one with small ears.

YB has a small helmet. I've seen it.
