So, a crowbar with the intent to illegally enter is a burglar's tool, while possession a sledgehammer with the same intent is not.
However, I have to go back a few years to when an officer asked me three times, getting louder with repetition, if I had any weapons on my person. I had replied no to the first two queries, but realized what he was getting at on the third. I informed him I had a tool in my right front pocket called a knife. I had no intent on using the knife on the officer. So, why was it automatically a weapon?
