If your answer is Yes then it's exactly the same as shooting a "warning shot". it's just one more step between pulling your gun and shooting down the BG .

Shoot immediately. He is already inside the 21 foot range that he can beat your draw with the knife.

You have already let him get too close. The time it takes to fire an additional shot could mean you get stabbed first.

Also, personally, I too do not believe in 'warning shots'. Warn them what, that they're already breaking the law? Warning shots have only cause more problems than solutions as far as I've seen. Do it right, as said above, Warning shots go in the chest

And if I can be so brazen as to quote myself from another thread about warning shots & warning in general: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 31#p341231" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
