I disagree - a warning shot (in a safe direction) is MUCH more persuasive, and conducive to immediate compliance, than my voice.
Ya got any actual experience/data to back that up?
I'd guess just as often a warning shot precipitates flight or fight when the perp percieves the employment of deadly force has ALREADY begun.
..and IIRC Ayoob cites cases where warning shots caused actual injury.
