Does the one who carries a weapon fall under the ruling that he is not one of us? Does this include the one who is joking?

The questioner : The one who carries a weapon, from this, from the wording of generality, do we say that the one who carries a weapon, even if he is joking?

The Shaykh : This is not apparent, and the apparent ruling is that he is serious. However, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a person from pointing a weapon or a piece of iron, even if he is joking, because Satan might cause it to slip from his hand without him realizing it.
