I recently started doing squad rotations, instead of one squad on duty all the time.  In addition to happiness benefits, this encourages them to move their discarded non-armor clothes to their rooms when not on duty, which was always a pet peeve.  But now I'm finding weapons here and there in odd places in the fort, forbidden.  I'm sure that the military dwarves are dropping them at odd times, and they are ending up forbidden for an unknown reason.  Bug?

The military dwarves also claimed ownership of a bunch of food when backpacks became available, and left the claimed food in the goods stockpile where the backpacks are stored.  Fortunately it doesn't seem to be rotting and miasmaing up the place.

Weapons usually end up forbidden when they are wrestled out of or otherwise removed from the hands of another dwarf. I think there might be an option under the "o" menu that talks about forbidding items when dropped or something similar.

Weapons get forbidden if they get stuck in a wound. The dwarf will continue to use it, but once it gets dropped it's actually treated as forbidden.

I think this happens because the weapon is for a moment considered to be in the enemy's possession while it's stuck-in. I think you can prevent this with one of the forbidding options in the (o)rders menu, but I don't remember which one.
