Which of the following is NOT considered a deadly weapon under Kentucky law?

A knife with a 3-inch blade
A club
A firearm
Pepper spray

The correct answer is: Pepper spray

Pepper spray is not considered a deadly weapon under Kentucky law because it is classified as a less lethal form of self-defense. This answer is different from the options A, B, and C because a knife with a 3-inch blade, a club, and a firearm are all considered deadly weapons as they are designed and intended to harm or kill someone. However, pepper spray is meant to temporarily incapacitate and give someone time to escape a dangerous situation without causing serious or permanent injury. This differentiation is important in the eyes of the law as it is taken into consideration when determining charges and penalties for the use of a deadly weapon in a crime.
