Columbus officer fatally shot young teen 'who drew BB gun'

[Benton]

My concern is some people in the past have tried to reduce the realism of BB guns like that because of instances where kids get shot because of it. My concern there is some people carry those specifically because it looks like a real gun without being a real gun. Some people don't want to carry a real firearm, but realize having what looks like a gun might help scare off a home intruder or an assault.
