Warning shots are not required in Texas.

It can pollute the soil with lead and leaves one less round for the BG.

The guy was something of a showboat but caught the guy.

Definitely a showboat, but he sure did get the job done.
Warning shots are highly frowned upon here. The reasoning is that you draw your gun in public only when there's a clear and present threat to you or someone you're protecting, or basically put - you only draw a gun when you need to shoot somebody.

Scaring folks by brandishing, threatening and firing warning shots is usually taken as an indicator that the threat isn't all that serious and pulling out the gun is an unnecessary escalation on the part of the gun owner.

I disagree in part with that as I have arrested a would be thief in my neighborhood at gunpoint (he had a kitchen knife) and I've drawn in response to a man threatening to stab me after a traffic altercation.

I fired warning shots once after my dogs chased a very young looking burglar out of my yard and over the fence at 2am. When I approached to investigate he stood his ground defiantly outside the fence like he was challenging me or something. About 10 feet from the fence I suddenly drew and pointed at his face and I don't think I ever saw a person's eyes open up so wide. As he turned to run, I boomed two Gold Dots into the ground behind him and he accelerated through the brush like a bat out of hell with its a$$ on fire. When I called to report the incident, the cops gave me crap for firing the shots, but they relented when I told them about his aggressive behavior.

Buzz, agree. I believe it's all about making good decisions. If the bad guy is threatening you or another with death or serious bodily harm, without justification, let him have it. If it's anything else, such as a bad guy who is running away and posing no immediate threat to anyone, if you shoot, even though the world may be better off for the elimination of the SOB, you may face criminal and civil liability (grand jury indictment, suit for damages). The guy in this news clip did OK with the warning shot, which caused the bad guy to surrender, and all ended well. If he shot the bad guy, and the bad guy was not posing a threat to the 89 year old neighbor or anyone else, our hero might have had some serious problems. All that said, I like the over the top style of this guy running around this very posh Houston neighborhood in his boxer shorts taking charge with his 50 caliber cannon.
