However, Maryland law does not limit the definition of a weapon to the above listed objects. It is not uncommon to see household items such as cans, bottles, or lamps charged as a weapon, depending on how the defendant allegedly used the object on another person.

There are defenses to weapons charges, including carrying a weapon as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger. If you are charged with a weapons crime, you need a lawyer who can present the appropriate defense in your particular matter, prior to and during trial.
