A German Interrogation

Imagine if you will: You’re walking down a back alley taking a shortcut home from the grocery store because it’s getting dark. A mugger comes up to you, demands you give him all your money and points his… pillow at you? That’s right, in Germany, pillows are considered “passive” weapons. I’m curious what passive means in this sense. Does it mean that it’s not usually a weapon but can become one? If that’s the case then everything is a passive weapon. If anything, a pillow is the first object I would want to be hit with if no real weapon is available. I guess everyone else has gunfights and the Germans have pillow fights, but much deadlier. Their pillows must be more lethal than everyone else’s. You know what they say, don’t bring a knife to a pillow fight.
