    They kinda fall into the same category as Stanley knives, baseball bats, and slide hammers.
    It's all about context. Any and all of the above items will get you arrested under the right(?) circumstances. Having a slingshot in your back pocket while attending a G8 protest would undoubtedly lead to a bit of 'helping the police with their enquiries,' for example.
