Ok playing the devils advocate here..

You shoot into the ground, the yguy running away is either in the underground gun trade and now knows whose house to rob for said guns. Or what if he is just a thug POS with thug POS buddies, and thinks you are shooting at him when he may or may not have been just hiding in your bushes with no intent of harming you or yours. Now he wants retaliation, in the form of raping you and yours..

Don't shoot a damn gun in your neighborhood

There's obviously exceptions to this though

So its better if he assumed i'm just an unarmed home owner? I see your points though and this was the point of the thread to find the pluses and minsues.

Firing the weapon after the threat has stopped (him running away) probably wouldn't end well. I'm by no means able to give legal advice, but it just seems like a waste of a bullet. Plus you could be adding "discharge of a weapon in city limits" to yourself. How can you prove that there was an intruder and you weren't just shooting in your backyard to piss off your neighboors?

Or you could be warning a drunk teenager trying to not get busted for underage drinking.

Shots from gun are the new "get off my lawn".
