The crowbar sits in the tool category legally and the weapon category practically. In Leonida, where the line between a job that requires equipment and a job that requires a weapon is blurry at the best of times, that dual function is the point.
It pries secured doors, breaks padlocks, and handles opposition that does not have the good sense to leave. No reload. No ammunition. No maintenance beyond keeping it in the vehicle.
VCPD catalogues it as a burglary tool when recovered at a scene. That classification understates its field applications considerably.
