You cant fire a warning shot in texas. great way to get yourself put in jail. Your also not allowed to pull your gun just to "scare" someone. You only point your gun at someone you intend on shooting not to scare them.

Yes, I know warning shot in general is not a great idea. But some people previously mentioned they would use their firearms in similar situation. That means they will shoot to kill. My point was to avoid using lethal force, but prevent an attack. So am I totally wrong and its better to kill?

I wouldn't have stopped to get involved. Call the police that's what we pay them to do.the mama june jokes are pretty funny though.

My thought, too. Maybe folks saw the incident and stopped way back.

It would be on the Transtar cameras.

What a dumb law,
what's the point of having a gun if you can't fire a warning shot?
