I think the towel got tossed into the ring on the blanks question. My concern is the comment about showing the handgun and making a verbal warning.

Drop all ideas about warnings. If the bg is close enough for you to determine a weapon in his/her hand there is no time for a warning of anykind. A human can close the gap quicker than most excited individuals can get the words out. If they are quick enough they can fall on the ground before I get my first shot off. I do shoot one of those slow 45's.

The only time I would consider a verbal warning is if there is a wall or locked door between the bg and Myself.
