And then there is the possibility that you don't have the luxury of a warning shot, and now you've got to clear a blank from the chamber, either by firing it or by racking the slide, before you can bring it into play in your own defense.

Bad idea all around.

I have to agree here. If I have to point my gun at someone its not to 'scare' them. Its a LAST resort and things are bad. Infact I would not feel safe carrying a gun with a blank round or an empty chamber.
