How have courts interpreted the term "weapon" in the context of a possession of a deadly and dangerous weapon?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gaines, 195 Cal.Rptr.3d 842, 242 Cal.App.4th 1035 (Cal. App. 2015):
by replacing the term "weapon" with "deadly and dangerous weapon." We are not persuaded. In this context, the condition plainly prohibits the possession of items specifically designed as weapons, as well as other items that defendant may intend to use to inflict great bodily injury. (People v. Moore (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 1179, 1183, 1186, 150 Cal.Rptr.3d 437 [rejecting a challenge to a substantially similar condition].)
