Holstered Weapon Implication

create implication holstered_weapon -> holster
create implication holstered_weapon -> weapon

A holstered weapon is (should be) a weapon in a holster. Not sure if we use the tag on images where the holster is out of view, or if we use it for things other than weapons (I see some water guns) despite the tags name and wiki. There has been no previous discussions about this at leasts.

Well, there are holsters for tools such as screwdrivers and power drills. Maybe instead of "_weapon" we use holstered for holsters in use, much like sheathed -> sheath for swords and knives. Then we let the object being holstered determine whether or not weapon is applied and avoid erroneous tagging such as with water guns.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, I'll wait and see what others think about it.

An alternate way to alias. Based on previous reply written by a site admin stating that weapons aren't the only holstered objects. Therefore holstered must imply holster.
