Weapon Confusion

30DBC - 3rd Jan - prompt: On New Year's Day, police seized various weapons from someone outside of a national sporting event. How many weapons do you need to enjoy a sporting any event with your friends and family?

Below are a few of the 4587 reasons why I genuinely do not understand this prompt:

I'm British, maybe this is an American thing? Or, maybe, a rest of the world thing?
          Britain doesn't really do weapons
I've just taken morphine. Perhaps that has made me dumb... this, I admit is entirely possible.
I'm not sure why I'd take a weapon to an event in the first place
          Often I carry a fork in my handbag (I like food) does this count as a weapon? I'm sure it could do a bit of damage if I really tried
How many? Well, none. If my blog post had just consisted of the word "none", would I have received full points? I don't get that.
Although, I guess it depends what event it is - that isn't specified so that confuses me. Am I going on a fox hunt, or to a swimming competition?

#Confusion.

Ultimately, my answer is...
