A warning shot is perhaps (probably) the worst thing that you can do, since it could cause the BG's to panic and start shooting indescriminately, reveals your position and loses you the element of surprise and potentially endangers others, because of a ricochet, bullet fragment etc.
If you must discharge a weapon, then you must employ it in a manner that, is justified by the immenent threat of deadly force being used against you or another.
A warning shot is a reckless discharge of a firearm and may result in charges and the loss of your CCW permit and maybe being prohibitied from posessing a firearm forever, depending on the laws of your state and maybe depending on the class of the charges, Federally as well.
If you and others are not in imminent threat of ones life, sit and watch and be a good witness and only employ your pistol when absolutely needed.
