Here in NJ in an non-sheetrocked detached garage NMC was not acceptable. (Physical damage) Note the word 'was'.
Comments ranged from..."ever see what a rake handle can do to MC?" (Seperation of the interlocked sheath) "NMC is more flexable, it just kinda stretches".
Now if someone could find some really old BX!
