IMHO you failed to mention a very important reason why a "warning shot" is a bad idea. It announces to your bad guy that you do not want to shoot them. While that may in fact be true, and for good, well intentioned people... I hope that it is true, it is not what you want to announce to whatever bad guy you may have to deal with.... I learned this as a child and have never had reason to change my viewpoint. My father was an FBI agent. While off duty one night he became aware of a pair of dirtbags stomping a neighbor out in the park across the street (drunken "youths" vandalizing and caught at it). He called the local police (major metropolitan area), identified himself, told them the situation asked for immediate response and told them that he was intervening. I still remember my mom holding me by the collar to keep me from running after him "to help". As he approach the assault in progress, he identified himself and pointed his service revolver at them. They responded with threats and profanity, and turned their attention toward him, (which at least drew them off the victim on the ground). As they advanced he ordered them to stop and they ignored him. As they closed on him, he realized he was not willing to shoot them. Instead he fired a shot into the ground in front of them. All this did was tell THEM that he was unwilling to shoot them. So they of course ignored the gun. To make matters worse he truly was unwilling to shoot them and made the choice that in order to keep them from taking the gun away from him in the brawl that was about to occur, he threw it away, trying to throw it into a nearby pond. They closed with him and began to attack him, two on one. About the time that they got the upper hand and were beginning to try to stomp and kick him too, the first officer arrived. He made the choice to physically intervene and engaged the two of them. At this point, my father, disorientated and virtually blinded by the blood in his eyes, stepped to the cop car and made a (probably very non-standard) officer in distress call. I remember vividly the sounds of multiple sirens coming to life in the night from every direction and varying distances. I do not remember clearly anymore what happened in the ensuing moments (seems like seconds in my memory) but the suburban street and adjacent park were absolutely swarmed by police cars arriving at full speed and skidding in as cops came to assist. The two "mis-guided youths" apparently fell down/bounced off the edge of the car doors a couple of times during their arrest and as they were being loaded in the vehicles and they were taken to the hospital for brief treatment before jail. In the end, they did a few years in prison for assault on a police officer and assault on a federal officer along with whatever other charges they wound up with. The original victim spend several days in the hospital for his injuries (broken ribs and facial bones and whatnot). My father spent a day there himself. Broken nose and facial bones that I remember. The lessons that I took away from this even as a child (and which I am not sure that my father ever did learn)... DO NOT bring a weapon to a fight if you are not ready to use it if need be. That means among other things, you have to have spent time well beforehand pondering and considering whether you are ready and able to use it to end a life if need be. You have to give this serious consideration and be sure that you have found the answer well before you are in the moment. If you are a religious person then perhaps some input and advice from someone that you respect in that field would be helpful. The time to search for this truth is NOT right after you pull your firearm out. If you do not know that you are able to use your weapon to end a life if the need is truly there, then you should not be carrying it. It is not a decision the be lightly reached and it is one that you should ponder in depth long before the moment arises. You do not want to be beginning this long and deep philosophical exploration when you have seconds or less before someone beats your brains out. DO NOT think that the presence of a firearm will end a fight. very often it will not. DO NOT think that a "warning shot" will impress or intimidate anyone who is not already sufficiently cowed by the sight of the gun. It WILL NOT. It will merely tell them that you are not really willing to use it against them. Any fear that they may have had for the firearm is lessened now, as is you likelihood of controlling the situation without having to actually shoot them. You do not carry a gun to "warn" anyone. Or you should not. You carry a gun against the remote chance that you will have to apply extreme physical force against someone to stop them from unjustifiably hurting you or another. Applying this force effectively with a firearm carries a very high potential of killing them. If you are not prepared for this, then you need to step back and spend some time looking into your heart to see if you can reach that point. Otherwise your firearm is at best a detriment to your safety.

I would also say that just the action of firing that warning shot opens the "Gun fight" Pandora's box and handed initiative to the bad guy who may then look at the situation as a free fire zone now that you've uncorked your weapon. In other words, you may in fact initiate the gun fight you were trying to avoid with you starting at the disadvantageous position of your gun being pointed away from the threat and like John said, down 1 round of ammo.

Great topic John! When I took my NRA class to get my Concealed Carry Permit 18yrs ago in Boston, warning shots were on the list of “NEVER-do’s.” Shooting in the air in Massachusetts, where a major international airport is can actually get you a Criminal charge from the FAA, if god forbid your warning shot brought down a plane! In a major city that is a HUGE concern. Pffftt, you aren’t even allowed to shoot down a drone if a pervert is checking out your underage daughter in the pool out back!! Also in a major city with skyscrapers and high rise buildings, firing a warning shot could potentially land you a manslaughter charge, if a round goes off into a tall building and accidentally kills someone......and that manslaughter charge is if you’re LUCKY! Something you said John is SO true: “A warning shot will NOT intimidate a real criminal or someone with criminal intent. That’s Hollywood B.S right there. I have known criminals so used to having guns pointed at them, that shooting them in the bloody leg wouldn’t stop them from whatever they want done!

A warning shot also tells a bad guy that you're not serious about having to use your gun. If they aren't scared by the gun being presented, you're already not being taken seriously, why demonstrate to them that you don't intend to shoot them? Plus, it's one of the basic firearms safety rules... never point your firearm at something you don't wish to destroy. If it's not pointed at someone who presents an objective deadly threat, do not pull the trigger. As a wise person once said, every bullet has a lawyer attached.

Well, to be honest a bullet fired directly up will not fall and build up the equivalent lethal velocity downward; it would reach a terminal velocity as drag reaches equilibrium with gravity. See: Myth - Dropping a penny off the empire state building. However the issue is people are stupid. A bullet fired at a sufficiently low angle will loose the velocity vector component in the z direction; however the velocity vector component in the x/y direction will retain velocity (- drag). If the sum of vector components at the impact point yield a terminal velocity of a lethal velocity, then it can kill.

It's also worth pointing out that things are generally more rough and tumble in America, so law enforcement procedure and self defense is different here. You have tactics like the magdump being born out of necessity, which may seem excessive to say a bobby in England. But drop the bobby into the middle of downtown Detroit and see how long they last. AFAIK crime in Estonia isn't as brutal (but I've never been to Estonia, so if anyone here is from there feel free to correct me) so I can see why warning shots would be police protocol. Not that I agree with it, though.

Do you really face a threat that is deadly enough to mandate drawing your firearm in the first place?

In pretty much all European countries officer have to fire warning shots first. And it does make sense: First, the percentage of civilians having guns is compared to the US almost not existent. So most of the time, suspects will attack with knives etc. look at the statistics: e.g. in Germany, more than half of the shots fired from the police were warning shots. In most of the cases, this enough. But of course you are right when it comes to self protection. Also police officers never drive alone in Germany, so you have always your buddy to back you up if the warning shot doesn't succeed.

F. Walter in densely populated areas the round could hit an innocent and wound them or kill them. If they fire in the air it could still kill an unsuspecting bystander further away from the scene. If they fire into the ground, pavement it could ricochet and hit someone else or hit their own femoral artery. They as well just aim it and fire at a 3rd party or have a blank cartridge in the chamber. If armed criminals know this they could wait until the warning shot then shoot one or both officers.

ive always had mixed feelings about warning shots, part of my brain knows that some criminals would gamble on your gun being a toy or not loaded and a warning shot could let them know "hey man this shit is real and ready to run" on the other hand ive heard people say they will convict you because of a warning shot, no idea how true just something thats been burned into my head from a kid. id rather not shoot someone and if i felt like a warning shot may get a point across where i dont have tho shoot someone well id probably take it. i dont want the burden of all things that come after a shooting and will hopefully do my best to avoid putting copper into meat, dont get me wrong if push comes to shove i'll put a match in the gas tank (boom boom) im comfortable with losing 1 round out of my 15 + 1 situation and im more than confident my cz p07 will run, ive got 2 extra mags. sometimes ya just dont have time to even present a gun and wait for a reaction, more than likely if your going to need to pull your gun out its because someone already has 1 out. in that situation i aint waitin around to see if my gun would scare him/them/her off much less fire warning shots.

Because I do not want any human blood on my guns a primary non-blood shot is a way not to kill someone. Of course I never got a ticket or charged for the shot. However the person did understand the next shot would be center mass. Why am I pro "warning or oil bulllet shot" is because it affords me the ability to NOT take a life. But, if it will show weakness then go center mass. I also claim after the center mass shot... Take your gun and leave, quick as possible. The reason is because no matter how correct your action the police will seek to charge you, convict you and incaraerate you.

Most likely that will give enough incentive for someone to run like hell. If it doesn’t, then I have 25 or 26 rounds left in my rifle to fight with.

You are referencing the changes from the Brandishing Law to the Defensive Display Law. There is a legal difference between displaying a weapon (showing it by lifting a shirt or jacket, placing your hand on it, or verbalizing you have one) and drawing it. I live here in AZ as you do and am intimately, and have personally been involved in court cases surrounding defensive display of a firearm and drawing it (ARS 13-421). Which is also reason number 927 not to small-of-the-back carry since you will have to turn your back to legally use a particular aspect of the Defensive Display defense (saw this one play out in a courtroom as well). If you draw it sans legal deadly force justification, you WILL be charged with Ag Assault, and I wish the person all the luck in fighting it.

I mean from what I know they are illegal because for some reason they count as unlawful discharge of a firearm even though if you would to hit them it would count as self defense so frankly just shoot to kill no reason to warn them letting them know your armed is the warning.

Steven Peterson say you do this. I think you're probably a good person with a value system that won't let you kill for mere property. Your honest to God hope would therefore be for them to scamper off and never come back. If they are armed (not likely but we prepare for that) they scamper a short ways and return fire from the concealment of night, effectively giving them the initiative. They really don't care if your house, family, livestock, etc are in their backstop. And after that you have to explain how you fired shots when "all" they were doing was damage your property.

Too bad firearm maunfactures have not expanded their firearms to include a 4 shot revolver. The 6 shot revolver requires many to opt for lower caliburs to decrease size and weight. Using a 22 for self defense is about useless. I have seen too many critters under 40 pounds not react to being hit for way too many seconds to allow on a 150 lb person. This it the reason I opted for semi-auto.... But the semi-auto does NOT have the same simplistic, effective and durability of the revolver. Anything can and will go wrong with the semi-auto... And I like the hammer on the semi-auto over the "striker" semi-auto. Using both semi-autos and revolvers develop a natural reaction through understanding that the striker eliminates...and in my opinion allows problems.

Active Self Protection Extra --- My best Advice is: when you have dug yourself into a hole...stop digging. If I began counting how many time a semi jammed on me... 10+ verses how many times a revolver jammed on me..0.. It would be..10-0.. In about 40+ years doing whatever involved a firearm... And... My Brother-in-Law is the one I said was X-Marine Sniper Trainer...(also weapons expert). not me "officially" though, except by decades of handling using repairingand such. Oh Yeah... Just two nights ago an actual weapons expert Navy Seal was at my brothers and so We met. He did not leave until 4 am because we engaged with weapons knowledge from two different perspectives but (dang) the same understandings at the end. (He wants me to build some night vision equipment I have been developing for several years.) And yet... you just keep digging. For myself... I will not claim i am a weapons expert, but While you do as well as you can... I do as well as I want... Remember that. First, I had little or no problems with your reasonings until it was claimed a warning shot was NEVER a good idea. I know two people who would say your wrong, even though they both ended up doing time...but they are still alive. Then, me as well...because I did not have to take those lives. And of course, this only accounts the recent incidences. Your claim of repairing a jammed semi in .5 seconds... Quit! The Second you are under duress and then your gun jams on you...in that second you will know you are now wrong and...if you live...

Guess conditions are different in countries where guns are legal and easily available and countries where they're not. I a country with strict gun laws, perps may be armed but usually not as "hardened". If police must fire a warning shot, that's probably a better idea. Civvies don't carry guns (usually) so that's not an issue. But in such a gun crazed country as the US... Then there are those horrid incidents like years ago when a young Japanese exchange student got lost and walked up to a door to ring the door bell and ask the way. He was shot dead! Best solution, keep strict laws against guns, strict routine with hunters who has licensed guns and keep them in their home and also competition target shooters. In a world where you have to assume that everybody is carrying, legally or not, you're forced to fire first or get shot yourself.

Warning shots are used when the purp is either outgunned or is not pointing even remotely towards you. A warning shot can be effective against knife-wielder who doesn't have the distance to do harm yet. And where did you get the idea that you shoot up when you shoot warning shots? You always shoot towards under the purps feet. If you hit their feet, then good, you probably ended it there and he has a better chance than center of mass shot. I'm not saying warning shots are always useful and always should be considered, but in some situations, a warning shot can actually save lives. A lot of people who doesn't have experience with firearms can be shocked simply by the menacing loudness a gun or rifle has. Atleast that was what we learned in the Norwegian Army =)
