To: Yo-Yo; All
Either you fear for your life and are justified in using deadly force, and you shoot until the threat ends, or the situation does not call for deadly force and you do not discharge your weapon.

With all due respect Yo-Yo, this is oversimplified thinking. Sometimes you cannot be sure of outcome of a given situation, particularly when you don't have all the facts of a situation.

With all due respect to you, Amendment10, I will allow you to construct any strawman argument you wish that would justify a warning shot. The military doesn't teach warning shots. The police doesn't teach warning shots. If the situation justifies discharging a weapon, you shoot to stop the threat. If it does not justify stopping the threat, then it does not justify discharging your weapon at all.
