The incident was reported just before 8 a.m. at the Subway restaurant in the 2700 block of East Carson Street. Authorities said 47-year-old Calvin Leon Smith entered the Subway, showed what appeared to be a real gun and demanded money.The rule should be, never pull that orange identifier from your otherwise realistic BB gun. Then, if a prospective victim shoots you, it's his fault, because you only had a non-lethal BB gun. /S

BB guns don’t have the orange tip.

Most, if not all, pneumatic BB and pellet weapons DONT have orange identifiers on the ends because they are not toys.

A bb gun can be lethal. You can put someone’s eye out with it and, if you shoot them in the right place, kill them. I believe that it is considered a deadly weapon.

The rule should be, never pull that orange identifier from your otherwise realistic BB gun.Or, you could get a real gun and paint the tip orange. Then, if the guy laughs at you, you could shoot him and claim you thought it was a toy gun.
