Context is extremely relevant to the point of ownership.

I own a knife that can be used to kill. But I use it to cut food. Is it a weapon?

I have poison in my home! It's a detergent I use for cleaning. Am I in possession of a weapon? It could be used as such.

OP may have a gun as a deterrent of some sort, despite not planning to ever use it.

Context is everything. And stating otherwise is - frankly - bullshit.
