What is Considered a “Dangerous Weapon”
Guns are not the only weapons involved in an armed robbery. Any object that can be used to cause physical harm, or incite fear of harm, is considered a dangerous weapon.
- Firearm or Handgun: Includes automatic and semi-automatic weapons, loaded or unloaded
- Airsoft guns: BB guns, pellet guns, and paintball guns
- Zip-gun: starter pistols, anything not designed to be a gun but could be used as one
- Explosive device: includes bombs, demolition devices, blasting caps
- Incendiary device: firebombs, anything used to cause destruction by means of fire or ignition
- Pepper spray
- Stun gun or TASER
- Knives, or other sharp objects
- And more
Toy Guns are Still Considered a “Dangerous” Weapon
Toy guns painted to look like real guns, plastic bats, replica swords or dummy bombs are all classified as deadly weapons (even though they might not seriously hurt someone). If the weapon looks real, you’re going to jail. If the victim reasonably believed the weapon was real, the armed robbery conviction will stand.
