I don’t believe Mossad Ayoob has ever approved warning shots.
That gun is supposed to be used as a last resort/lethal force measure, not a show of force.
VP Biden recommends warning shots.
When the Police ask, remember that you did not fire a warning shot. You were trying to shoot the guy and you missed.
The first warning shot goes to the head of the threat. The second and third warning shots to center of mass. The remaining ten warning shots go to the center of mass of any associated perps. Reload and assess the situation for safe passage, using cover.
Only draw weapon if in fear for your life and it becomes necessary to defend with lethal force.
While basically correct, there are times when a warning shot might be appropriate and end up defusing the situation without loss of life. Situational awareness is key - some folks will remain hostile and belligerent even if they see that you are armed, but will do a quick rethink at the very loud and distinct sound of the explosion propelling a chunk of metal out of the "prop". Without such immunities as FL implemented, you can be jailed for trying to keep from killing someone while staying free for putting a hole in them. I prefer the choice of how to proceed.

Agreed. I've had some on this board disagree with me, but to me Ayoob is the zen master of defending yourself without having to spend time in jail.
