Going by strictly #1 definition, one would have to classify it as a weapon:
Weapon: 1. An instrument of attack or defense in combat, as a gun, missile, or sword.
Tool: 1. A device, such as a saw, used to perform or facilitate manual or mechanical work.
However one could easily make the argument that one of the policeman's "tools of the trade" would be a gun. But in general everyday terminology, a gun is a weapon first and foremost. Think about it..if you were awoken by your S.O. in the middle of the night because she heard noises downstairs...would you be more likely to say:
"Honey I've got my weapon and I'll investigate"
Or
"Honey I've got my tool and I'll investigate".
Of course, if your S.O. woke you up and said "Honey, I'm horny"...then obviously #2 would be the appropriate response
