Firing a warning shot certainly does not indicate a willingness to shoot another person, otherwise the person would have been shot.

I think there are as many interpretations for what a warning shot might mean as there are people and scenarios to put them in.
I do think it's an unpredictable variable that is probably not worth the risk MOST of the time. However, Uncle Bucks scenario is one example where a warning shot seems like a good response.
I really think "the message" could be anywhere from "He ain't got the nads" to "Holy crap! This guy is serious!".
