There are different definitions of WMD, and it has evolved over time.
FBI includes destructive devices. DoD's is CBRN.

Capt Gregory Prickett I understand that's the NCSC's ruling and interpretation of the law. I'm interested in how the police in NC will now be able to justify the use of a WMD against citizens before any action of the citizen that justifies such force.

From the DHS web site, the definition of a WMD. How a flash bang, whose intent is to cause disorientation/stun could be placed in the category of a WMD shows just how idiotic some or our lawmakers and our court systems are. A flash bang has an effective range of meters and is not intended to cause death or serious injury.

The United States faces a rising danger from terrorists and rogue states seeking to use weapons of mass destruction. A weapon of mass destruction is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other device that is intended to harm a large number of people.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Perhaps, esquire, you might work on reading comprehension first and stop running to your legal opinion tactic and pretend you have caught someone with a fancy, legally written 15 page court case. Yes, I did quote the DHS definition of a WMD but in the exact same sentence, one you were apparently to lazy to read (maybe playing checkers or something) I said:

"How a flash bang, whose intent is to cause disorientation/stun could be placed in the category of a WMD shows just how idiotic some or our lawmakers and our court systems are."

I acknowledged that lawmakers there in NC have different definition and that they have legislated it and are enforcing it there, duh. My comment is that the standard is ridiculous and that we have idiots in the legislature passing this sort of garbage. There is no one that knows anything about WMD's who would put a flashbang in a WMD law, yes/no? Take of your ambulance chaser hat and try to apply some common sense.

Easy to say, when an active hostile environment is not being led by members of the court. Flash Bangs are to avoid casualties on both sides of the equation. Stupid call.
