Re: Carrying BB gun instead of real gun -
I agreethat if you actually had to draw and fire, a BB gun would have to be the silliest thing ever...
But, if it's ALL you could legally carry, such as inastate whereOC of real guns is prohibited, butBB guns are allowed, why not? There's overwhelming evidence that most defensive gun uses occur without firing a shot, and there's no evidence that OCing will cause criminals to attack you first or anything. The odds are strongly in your favor.
According to Venator, in Michigan there's no difference between a BB and a real gun, so my strong suggestion would be to carry a REAL gun.
