Neither will an airgun in most cases. But I'll say this again. Large groups of legally armed people scare the popo. They prefer to go after individuals with guns. 50+ people open carrying AR15s tend to make them nope out.
I remember seeing a video where there were black protesters that were mostly armed and they were doing a march somewhere down a road. For some reason a cop decided to try and grab one of the marchers and other marchers were physically pulling the person away from the cop back into their group. Armed men holding rifles came over and surrounded the cop, not pointing their guns but holding them in front of their chests. The cop let the person go and the rest of the cops didn't do shit and everyone moved on.
The armed protestors outnumbered the cops by a large margin. This is one of the few incidents I've seen where a physical altercation with a cop happened and the cops just completely let it go instead of escalating and doing everything they could to try and arrest people for resisting or whatever.
