I disagree - a warning shot (in a safe direction) ....
You'd find yourself on the stand defining 'safe direction'..
I'm personally aware of a little libby twerp female lawyer who would not only grill you on that, but demonstrate - by her questioning - that there IS no 'safe direction'...
Nonsense. It's up to the prosecution to demonstrate to the satisfaction of a jury that the defendant didn't fire in a safe direction. Absent such proof, the jury will be instructed to conclude that the direction was safe. The defendant isn't required to say word one about a safe direction.
Au Contrere, my friend.. Our gun range was shut down three years ago due to the plaintiff's argument that ANY shot, fired in ANY direction, is inherently unsafe.. Our NRA certified attorney did his best, but the local court, and the following appeal, got us bupkis.. The State Supreme Court refused to hear any further appeal - and the range is now shut down - permanently.. All due to the little twerp female litigator who let the witnesses around by the nose to an inescapable conclusion that there IS no 'safe' direction..
I was IN that courtroom for this case..
