Yep.

And while I’ll agree that a BB gun shouldn’t be considered a full fledged gun, it can still shoot an eye out. No officer should have to submit to that.

And from any distance at all, it would be hard to tell what was really in the guy’s hand.

This was either suicide by cop or another Darwin Award winner.

It can cause a nasty flesh wound that could get infected, too. (from National Lampoon’s Vacation)

My kids had a 1911 .45 bb pistol when they were younger. From 5 feet away it looks real enough to get you killed.
