I suspect if he gets charged he may have wished there were such things as warning shots, if indeed warning shots are the same as Unicorns & the Easter Bunny, non-existent fabrications. Of course if he truly did fear for his life and convince a jury of his feeling of being in imminent danger, good on him. But for political signs I would rather take the loss if the political signs then the loss of money for a lawyer and my potential loss of freedom. 8>)
