In the military they teach you to fire warning shots on certain guard details. I know that for a fact. Crazy that we wouldn’t allow our civilians to use the same potentially life saving techniques.

Our government is nothing if not retarded. They somehow interpreted "right to privacy" to mean "free taxpayer subsidized access to abortions" and "shall not be abridged" to "bans or restrictions on almost all types of firearms."

Read the Supreme Court majority opinion on this as well. A farmer was keeping his own corn and using it for other purposes above the amount he was allowed to grow. It never even crossed state lines. BUT they considered that it effected the market.

Were you guarding an ammo facility in or near Syria under Michael's Husband? Because I could see him issuing orders to fire "warning shots" and then to retreat. But only to retreat after opening the locks, and helping the intruders load the heavy weapons.

I did a training exercise (usmc) in the Philippines. one day after a joint range day, local Filipinos tried to raid all the brass to pick up. The Filipino marines fired warning shots at them and our first sergeant flipped his shit cuz we don’t do that in the marines. People in the back of the convoy thought we were under contact. Good times.

You can't fire warning shots in a city as you are responsible for where every single bullet goes.

5
RiffFantastic 5 points ago +6 / -1

I'll say you're half right. If you hit somebody with a stray bullet, you should be responsible for that. However, if you simply break up a robbery, potentially save a life, and nobody is harmed, what exactly are you responsible for?

There is also a constitutional argument that you can. There is nothing against warning shots in our constitution. Good luck ever getting our courts to admit that.

4
digitalher0 4 points ago +4 / -0

In my state you are responsible for where every bullet goes so if you miss and strike a person you can and will get in trouble. Pulling your gun is the warning shot, every shot after that is to end the threat.

I do agree with you but the law isn't going to be followed anymore so we can't look at things from that perspective. Anyone who defends their self or defends another is going to be at least persecuted and at most prosecuted and throw in jail.

Obviously we here all know the Deep State doesn't want anyone to stand up and rebel against unjust authority so examples have to be made but that will backfire on them as it always does.

4
Prussian_Pepe 4 points ago +5 / -1

Do the police have to follow that same rule? In my state I know they shot over 120 rounds at a kid armed with a cellphone, assumed it was a deadly weapon, and kept firing until they killed him. They also hit a random Mexican in the arm who in a bar with one of the strays, he refused to press charges for probably obvious reasons... Oh right "rules for thee but not for me!!!" type BS I'm sure...

Let's take that argument ad absurdum, shall we?

2
SoAngryRanger 2 points ago +3 / -1

How is that an absurd argument?

My willingness to negotiate limitations to the second amendment begins somewhere around ICBMs, but that seems like a real issue if we’re being honest.

1
wiombims 1 point ago +1 / -0

I meant let's take it to absurdity. Why? Because any framework you give the legal system will be used to absurdity sooner or later. Every bullet fired that doesn't incapacitate the threat is a "warning shot". More important is the fact that you couldn't fire any bullets anywhere within a 3 mile range of any other human being besides your assailant, ever. You wouldn't even be able to let loose a round if you weren't two inches away from the assailant's brain stem and that doesn't sound like a defensive situation does it? You could never fire a shot around the family you're trying to protect even (and if you doubt that, start shooting steel targets at less than 25 yards and see how bullets ricochet like life is imitating a cartoon). That rules out not just cities but also most counties in America. Except that's not reality. How can we know that? Well, police have no problem firing their guns in cities or any other populated area. You could say they're better trained but they're not and they miss a LOT. So should we put in rules just to hassle citizens? You would if you had other goals besides safety. Why? Because police and citizens both almost never shoot innocent bystanders in collateral fire. Both miss (a lot) under stress and yet very few people end up shot with the bullets that penetrate through a body or miss entirely. Where do people get shot by stray bullets? I'm glad you asked and it's places like Chiraq where people already engaged in criminal behavior spray bullets at rival gangs or drug dealers in an attempt to send a message or just through sheer incompetence. The other exception being the (maybe hilarious, though not to the people inside) times police "misidentify a suspect's car" and pump it full of bullets. But let's talk about warning shots. A ridiculous amount of violent encounters get stopped by "brandishing" and "warning shots". The police know this, the citizenry knows this and the courts know it. But legally speaking, warning shots are still not allowed. If the person who flashed a gun or fired a warning shot wasn't defending themselves, they can be charged with other crimes. The only time someone would only fall under brandishing or warning shot violations would be if they were engaged in a defensive situation, used their gun appropriately and the legal system was being used to punish them and send a message to other citizens that they shouldn't use their guns in self defense. It's understandable if a bullet whizzes past you and you get upset, that makes sense; I would too. But focus your rustled jimmies on the criminal rather than the person defending themselves from a criminal. If a citizen engages in self defense and shoots your property, they're liable (it gets replaced or you get compensated and all is well with the world). If a citizen engages in self defense and hits a bystander, it's a minimum of manslaughter. So what exactly are we talking about here, "poorly" worded gun control meant to hassle the citizenry? You needn't look further than NY, CA, MA or NJ to see some of this absurdity being successfully litigated.

He'd be facing murder charges if he had shot and killed them. Facing charges for shooting at them is bad enough. In a Democrat controlled jurisdiction like Oakland they are guaranteed to maliciously prosecute anyone who dares to defend themselves or others to make an example out of them.

Warning shots are against every police policy I have ever seen or heard of. Shoot to stop the threat. If they are doing something that deserves warning shots then they deserve center mass shots.

2
DebunkTheLeft 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yes. Even if you are weak-willed and still want to fire a warning shot, you have to say that you missed, or you will be arrested. Of course, the warning shot can't be in the air.

TheUsurper 7 points ago +7 / -0

Just police. The point being that warning shots could end up hitting an innocent person. If someone deserves to be shot then the bullets should be headed at them and only them.

1
jomten 1 point ago +1 / -0

If I shoot the earth in front of me there is no bystander worry, and in some scenarios people arent seeing the gun, like a fight is going on between two people and they dont realize theres a gun out through the commotion.

You don't want to risk getting in harms way and you cant let them keep fighting because they might seriously hurt each other. Warning shots arent without use, nothing is black and white and the government just wants to target gun owners any way they can.

I think the police said as much. They said they don’t want to leave the message that people should be arming themselves. Also I think but I’m not sure, the owner may have admitted he fired warning shots. DONT ever do that or admit to that for many reasons.

TD_Covfefe_Crusader 14 points ago +14 / -0

The fact of the matter is, if you use a gun for self defense in a Democrat controlled jurisdiction, you are almost certainly going to jail. The charges you face will be determined based on what you did with the gun, but even drawing it and brandishing it will be charged in most cases.

Let me re-phrase that: They want bystanders accustomed to doing nothing, because then they won’t have to worry about bystanders interfering while they’re putting you up against the wall.

It's disgusting here now. I have a lot of friends in SFPD and OPD and they're completely dejected. They've been handcuffed, no pun intended, so bad that they can't do anything any more. Someone commits armed robbery? They arrest them and then see them walk out of the police station before they're even done with the paperwork.

Thanks no bail laws.

See someone rummaging through a vehicle with a broken window and then they run away when they see you? You can't engage. You didn't see them break the window so you don't know if it's a car break in. I wish I was joking about this but it's verbatim SFPD policy.

I would be trying to find a job elsewhere and leave. I don’t see how any police officer can tolerate this sort of nonsense.

I mean this is anarchotyranny, where the government refuses to protect innocent citizens because it sides with the criminals. Normally that happens because the criminals are actually working for the government (such as vote buying etc.) The criminals can also act as proxy enforcers for government in this situation.

Yes. If it’s a legit reason to pull a gun, it’s legit to kill or be killed - not much of a choice. Your life has to be clearly in danger and you have to fear for your life. They will try and fail to prosecute...but will make life miserable for somebody and cost them $$$. Best option is to move away from the threat before it can occur and during a situation. Have CCW protection and, nice as they may seem politely refuse to answer questions to the police until you speak with a lawyer.

I work with a lot of Asians at a big tech firm. They have been stocking up heavily and putting in a lot of range time over the past year. Their anger is palpable. The conversations that would typically happen in the confines of their ancestral language have spilled over across boundaries of Asian country heritage.
