Ice pick becoming a classified weapon

Where I am located in Williamsburg/James-City Country in Virginia, Ice picks aren't classified as a weapon. Shouldn't they be?

Why is this important?

Through a hard time i have been having lately with an old friend, with him sending me threats, and pulling an ice pick out as "self dense" as he put it, toward me in a situation where i had no weapon or protection except my fiance, and my old friend had every intention that i was going to be alone. Not only did he have the ice pick but it was also concealed in his sock at first. I tried to get a protective order against him but all i could get was a 3-day protective order that i don't think he even received, and i couldn't get a longer one, nor was I taken seriously. I want this sharp object to be classified as a weapon so I can have a better piece of mind and hopefully follow up on getting a longer protective order.
