I can understand your desire to give a warning. I personally fear losing my advantage of surprise in order to save an aggressors life or give him/her another chance. If we are justified then we are justified. If the aggressor has decided to use threat great enough to justify our shooting then they are to the point no chance can be taken. I won't risk my life for a socially learned definition of what is fair. It took me some time to except that. If the situation has devolved to that point then it is past time to be concerned with what is fair or will make us feel justified. As was suggested, emotions have nothing to do with when to shoot. It is a mathematical equation and logical. Action and reaction. That is the way I see it anyway. The aggressor goes so far so I react and go so far. They go beyond what I think will allow me or an innocent to remain safe then I do what I must to stop them. And then the responding officers can watch me cry like a child and/or lose my last meal or whatever. I would never shoot because of a fear of anything. I would shoot to stop that person that has gone to far and I was certain, in my mind, he/she was going to harm me or an innocent. That is just how I thought it thru and I thought maybe you could think about how I worked it out. It is just my opinion.
