In defense of others or SD, no warning shot. In a case like REGULAR JOE's, yes.
I did not read every line on this thread, so if anyone else covered it sorry. I would fear the potential effects of blindness from muzzle flash at night or temporary loss of hearing from a warning shot. In a gunfight you need to have all your senses at 100%. If you fire a warning shot, compromise your senses and need to then engage your primary target, or worse yet, a secondary (previously unknown) target, you are now at a loss.
Thinking responsibly, where did that warning shot go? Was it in a safe direction?
