>First round in the air, will get ~~the goon off the lady and send them scrambling.~~ you arrested for reckless endangerment and negligent discharge of a firearm because you can't account for where the bullet will land. A firearm is lethal force. If you are justified in drawing at all, you are in a position where you need to kill the threat, not scare them. This is how the law works. If you fired a warning shot instead of a kill shot, you weren't in immediate danger.
