Article 13

Not considered as prohibited arms are utensils, tools or instruments for working in the field or any office, art, profession or sport that have well-known application for such, but their use is limited to the premises or site in which the work or practice takes place.

When those instruments are carried by necessities of work or for the exercise of a sport, it is necessary to demonstrate, according to the case, these circumstances.
