    Default police view points on worning shots

    hi guys, I was wondering how the SAPS treat people that fire warning shots, I know in America this is a criminal act and can get you arrested for unlawful discharge of a firearm or even attempted murder.

    my question is if one day I was to come home and be greeted by the site of criminal kicking my dog, or burglar trying his hardest to get my TV out of the window, should I fire a warning shot to get him to stop or at least flee. when the police arrived would I be arrested? or perhaps a unarmed criminal attempts to mug me or someone I love I cant shoot him because he is clearly unarmed, so I fire a warning shot, what would happen when the police arrived.

    heres an example of how the law treats people who fire warning shots in America.

    Read more post less. Most of what you have posted today has been discussed. Generally to death.

    Not unless you have a Taurus Millennium. There is one going for a steal in the for sale section.
