I would love to see something that says a "warning shot" is acceptable after drawing a firearm.
I'll thank you in advance for providing that.
Happy hunting...

It all depends on your ROE, usually. Police officers are expected to use minimum force, and so are civilians defending themselves. So, if you've drawn your gun, why not fire a warning shot? If you're going to shoot someone, why aim center-mass, and not at the legs? And why the double-tap? You're going to run into trouble with the law, if you insist on using your military ROE as a civilian...
