Maybe you mean "intent" rather than "motive." Some torts require an intentional act such as assault or battery. The tort of negligence can be committed without intent, but it is based on being careless.

What are ''Unlawful Objects''?

The definition of unlawful objects depends on where you are, and what the laws are.

However, even if you do have a license, having that same gun close to a school or an airport would be unlawful. Right now, a tube of toothpaste in your carry-on bag is an unlawful object at an airport. Hopefully, toothpaste is pretty benign other places. In general, an unlawful object is anything that there are laws against... and in many places, the law supports whatever the local rules are.

Why is the word defendant misleading?

It isn't. In law, the plaintiff makes a complaint that he has been wronged by the defendant. The defendant must defend himself against the plaintiff's action.
